lake willoughby
« on: Feb 15, 2010, 03:58 PM »
Looking for any help. The wife and I are renting a place on the lake in 2 weeks and we're hoping to catch some lakers, browns, brookies and salmon. Any areas of the lake to stay away from because of ice conditions. Do I need an extention for the auger? We have a couple ice houses on Winni and do pretty well there, should we target the trout the same way? Smelt or suckers?

Can't use suckers or smelt unless they come from the lake,I don't think you will need the extention, your in VT not the North pole not much more ice there than anywhere else.good luck.BB

I'm not in the North Pole??? Well I know it is generally colder in the NEK and we have 21-26" of ice around here. Thanks for the help >:(
