Is there a state fishing access on Glen lake, as if so what is the name of the road? I don't see one on Google maps but that doesn't mean much.  I'd really like to try it this year.

Salmon and the rare bown in Converse Bay on Champlain.  Doesn't freeze till later,though if at all.

I've caught rainbow out of the north half of Dunmore where it is deeper but haven't caught a salmon out of there yet.  I've been skunked at Dunmore more often than I've been successful but I don't have a flasher so it's hit or miss.  Fern Lake just to the south next to Dunmore used to be good perch fishing too.

there is a state access on Glen but the parking is very minimal,especially if the plow guy is the same one as last year,although I heard the state is going to fix that problem with a new contractor,as always ,watch the ice closely early.

Do you know the name of the road that the access is on, or if not is it on the north, south , east or west side of the lake?  Thanks

East side of lake.  Very close to entrance of Bomoseen State Park.  Little dam or inlet or something right there if I recall.  Follow road from state park on google maps and you should find it.

Sunset Lake in Orwell is another place for rainbows, it has a lot of springs and can be late to freeze. I've only ice fished it once or twice, but it does have holdover rainbows, as well as a few small lakers.
