(also posted in tips/ trout) I icefish a manmade impoundment in connecticut. I've caught browns to 7lbs., rainbows to 5lbs, and brookies to 3lbs. However, the action is rarely hot. Usually you'll get 3 strikes/ 3 chances at a decent trout. What I'm looking for is some more insight, activities, and possible movements and locations of the largest browns in this body of water. Here's a description of the lake: a couple hundred acres, very clear water, soft, sand, gravel bottom, largely devoid of any vegetation, depths to 90ft+, forage according to stomach contents:fish-perch, crayfish, wide variety of aquatic insects. Have caught perch in excess of 2lbs. Everything on tipups-use minnows, sometimes worms. Jiggin' produces nothing!!! I'm looking for the 10lb+ brown trout that I know is in there. No ice yet, but I'm waiting with baited breathe. Any insight would be greatly appreciated and acknowledged.
