rank these trout lakes
« on: Nov 25, 2006, 11:20 AM »
I am targeting some new waters for trout(bows, browns & brookies) this winter season.  Please rank the following lakes on a scale of 1-10. A 10 being that you have caught your limit more than once. A 1 being you have never caught a thing.

Lake Luzerne
Trout Lake
Brant Lake
Lake Eaton
Paradox Lake

I would give Paradox an 8, brant lake an 8, Trout lake a 3, and Lake Luzerne a 7. I've never fished Eaton, so I can't help you there.

In my opinion all the waters you have listed are decent fisheries...but as they say,timing is everything. ;) As far as the brookies go I don't think you will find many or any at all in those waters.  :tipup:

only fished a couple of these lakes, luzerne is no great shakes like a 4 brant is ok like a 6. if your local try the dead sea (sacandaga) very slow at times but you can pull out some nice bows and browns all over 20 inchs my best fish through the ice came from here a 27 inch brown hell of fish ;D

yes its a big lake most dont realize but it comes close to the king, as for a place to start is ruff, you pretty much have to put your time inn. dont get discouraged like most because the lake is capable of producing some monsters , other than trout too

How many times did you go last year ??? Silly question but were you on the hardwater ??? I went camping up there this summer and skunked as well using only clear wobblers and trout worms.  :'(
I am holding out hope, I heard there is some nice trout in that lake 8)
