| The ice is gone from most of Lake George at this point which means that its time to get those boats in the water and start fishing for some shallow lake trout and salmon. The best bet early in the season is around the mouths of the smelt spawning streams like West Brook, English Brook, Indian Brook etc. Most anglers find success drifting either small or medium suckers or heavy medium shiners for the lake trout or medium shiners for the salmon. If you are planning on trolling, go slowly!! Use a Mooselook Wobbler, Sutton Spoon, Needlefish or try a dodger with a streamer fly. Be careful if you are in a row boat or canoe since the water is still very cold and you will not last long if you end up taking a swim. If you are in a power boat, remember to be cautious of floating debris which is always an issue early in the season. Either way, be safe, have fun and feel free to stop in to the store for anything you might need on the water. The trout streams are currently running very high and cold and I have heard little about anyone who has had much success so far. Small worms or spikes are the best bet this early in the season. |
