The snow wrecked it. Be careful,there wasn`t much ice before the last snowfall. Now it has lots of water n slush on top

stopped by to check it 2 days ago and there was 3 inches along shore but there was probably 18 inches of snow on top of that didn't dare to venture out any further as the ice tends to very alot on that lake but it may be okay after last nights cold snap... be careful and good luck if you go out

I bet 18 inches of snow would not be fun

mroy44 · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 22, 2011, 05:26 PM »

He might not have known the difference between brookies and baby lakers. A buddy anad I got into perch-sized lakers there one time and and it was one flag after another.

how is the LAKER fishing in the lake and how would i go about catching one

finlessbrown · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 22, 2011, 07:11 PM »

i caught a 3 1/2 lbr a few years ago about 75 feet of the road jigging a small pink jig with a perch bait. the laker regurgitated about 10 1/4 -1/2 inch blue gills shortly after, so i would say small bait.

vtbrookfisher87 · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 22, 2011, 11:03 PM »

thanks ill try that is there good trout in there or are they all dink

fishn freak13 · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 23, 2011, 09:40 AM »

there is some really good lakers in there they are just very few and far between but the big ones that come out of there are very good looking fish........the rainbows on the other hand don't seem to get any bigger than 18-20 inches for some reason but there is a tun of them in there

Fish-On-VT · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 08:23 PM »

Where's a good place to park? I might try & fish sunset on Saturday... Thanks!

fishn freak13 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 09:16 PM »

parking there isnt all that great there is one road on the north shore and thats the only place you can park cause its kinda the only road on the lake anywhere along that road is alright to park, it does drop off over a hunderd feet right next to the road and alot of guys do fish right there

Fish-On-VT · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 27, 2011, 08:43 PM »

are you talking about the main drag, where the road is real close to the lake, or a side road with camps on it?
thanks again!

fishn freak13 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 27, 2011, 10:41 PM »

talking about the main road, none of the camp roads are plowed out and there is a gate up now even if the roads were plowed
