for me that's easy, Little Ossipee. That place kills. me every time I go there and its a half way decent lake.

Green Lake, Ellsworth (Hancock) All the fishery reports say its full of big lake trout; still haven't seen one.

I'm with you Auger Elbow. Little Ossippee has always been tough for me. I've fed the yellow perch many a smelt there! Since it's just down the road from me, I'm sure I'll be back there. I've been known to be stubborn! LOL

have ta be sebago,is there such a thing as a flag there?

smeltshack · « **Reply #5 on:** Dec 11, 2005, 06:23 AM »

SO FAR IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SEBAGO. THATS THE ONLY LAKE THAT I HAVE EVER ICE FISHED AND STILL HAVENT LANDED A FISH.

SEBAGO IS SUCH A MYSTERY TO ME BECAUSE THERE ARE PLENTY OF FISH TO BE CAUGHT (IE. BLUEFINS PICTURES) BUT KNOWING WHERE TO GO IS THE KEY I GUESS.

Tacoma Lakes in litchfield. Yep there are no fish in those lakes I ice fished them almost all of january last year than gave up. Decided I would try and catch something open water we there 5 times this summer and guess what... STILL SKUNKED

mainegator · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 11, 2005, 08:22 AM »

Transplant, I would agree with you on Tacoma Lakes for ice fishing, however I have caught some really large Browns on Sand Pond after spring breakup. What worked for me was just before dawn or the last light of the day over the sand bar on the east shore with sewn bait on 2 colors. One short line on the tail of the prop wash and one long. Largest fish: about 10 to 11#, C&R'd that puppy, Browns suck on the grill.

My worst ice fishing lake is LAKE GEORGE in Canaan. I drained that hole and can certify THERE ARE NO TROUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They say they stock it..... another fish story.....

Tacoma lakes rates way up there with the Narrows in Augusta a close second.....I believe had better results by leaving all the gear in my truck evaporating the contents of that dunkin donut box..................

Same thing for me, but I guess I just didn't pick the right spots. Not a single flag in 2 days!

I know they're out there, have seen the pictures, but I'll be darned if I can find them ice fishing.

There is a lot of fish to catch there through the ice you just need to find them!
I have!

square lake in the last few years has been terrible. used to have good sal. action. now its fished to death. cross is just as bad. really infested with small yellow perch.

fishuhalik · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 12, 2005, 05:06 PM »

A small lake in northern MN called Isaac Lake. Pounded the snot outta the craps, sunnies, and pike in the summer, but can't find 'em in the winter. It's only 35 acres and 15 ft. deep, but I can't find anything for the life of me. Can't even find 'em on the sonar!!!

icecruiser · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 12, 2005, 05:38 PM »

My challenging lake is Lower Narrows in Winthrop, but I will conquer it this year. I have yet to catch a fish through the ice there, however now it is my "home" water i will catch something. I have fished it a few times but just haven't figured out where the fish are. I have gotten flags but never seen a spool moving on a trap.

It is funny, to hear the different experiences. I have yet to get skunked on Sebago. Have had some slow days on Tricky though.

Very soon it will be time. I don't picture getting out much before the new year but after that I should get out regularly.

John
