Trial and error just like the rest of us! Knowing what bodies of water they are in should get you going and you can find that out through f&g. Lots of good water between champlain and the river...

Rinkjustin96 · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 06, 2012, 06:59 AM »

Thanks for the info

Dunmore has some gorgeous pike, but don't be surprised if the action is slow. If you can jig up some smelt and get them under a tip up, that is a plus.

agreed. i dont think i have ever seen i pike less than twenty inches come from dunmore and i have seen them around the 40+ mark too. fishing is slower but you have the chance for a really big pike.

Lake Hortonia in Hubbardton/Sudbury is a good pike and bass fishery. They don't grow em as big as they once did, but can't we say that about every lake....

Rinkjustin96 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 11, 2012, 06:41 PM »

ya thanks, heading there this weekend.
