NJSquatch, where do you stay, and when are you going up? That lake has some of the biggest pickerel you ever imagined, we stay at Battlegrounds Campsites at the southern end, if your down that way try wading off West Brook, go out on the sand bar to the weed line, cast no weighted Gary Yamamoto watermelon with red flakes, hook it in the middle, amazing fishing there for pickerel. I was up in November and caught 3 Landlocked Salmon from the side walk in the village right next to the Adirondack tour boat. There was a ton swimming all around, hard to get them to commit, but some flies I tied worked well. Was up for ice out in March, got a 24" brown trout off the steel pier, came back from a May trip, didn't do so well trolling, perch and pickerel on mooselook wobblers, no trout or salmon, our last day putting a nice mess of large perch to bring home, I was reeling up a perch and had a huge salmon follow it right up to the boat, we were fishing off West Brook just past the bouy. The Lake never lets me down, the new boat launch by Million Dollar Beach is nice, before Memorial Day and After Labor Day is free, during the summer $10.00 unless your staying at the state campgrounds, just show your receipt and it's free. I have plans for june 24-26 to be up, try to get up as much as I can, the fishing is awesome! I also have a 2 week vacation up there in August 6-20 if your up there maybe we can get together and do some fishing, I have some great spots on the Schroon River for trout, catch them all summer
