Which Newark Watershed lake to hit?

[Skunk City]

With the boating season coming to a close soon, I'd like to hit a few new spots before the ice. I am thinking I'd like to try one of the Newark Watershed lakes (Canistear Res., Clinton Res., Echo Lake, Oak Ridge Res.). I havent seen too much information on these bodies of water since they are permit only I guess (which is a good thing). I have heard of good muskie, walleye and smallie fishing up there though, which has me intrigued...

I will probably be doing the day-permit thing, then re-upping for a season pass for 2012. Any tips, advice, info, suggestions from anyone who has fished these places?
