Try searching flies such as the beadhead prince nymph, pheasant tail nymph, royal wulf or a #14 adams. The royal wulf is effective and it is easy to follow, and the adams pattern works everywhere as does the beadhead prince nymph, #14 or #12.

Find a relatively large body of water. A creek, river or lake. Trout should be there.

What the heck are you doing in Schroon Lake at this time of year??\nParadox Lake is probably pretty good for ice fishing.

If your using terminal takle go with wax worms.\n\nIf you want to through lures use a 1/8 oz. Wordens Rooster tail; jigs tipped with wax worms work really well. \n\nThere is a jig put out by GRIZZLY JIG COMPANY, http://www.grizzlyjig.com/html/grizzly_jigs.html, O strongly recommend them. The rigging method for  these is easy. Take a crappie rod or any ultralight is fine, and put on a slip bobber. Set the depth at three feet attach two jigs, one at the bottom and another at 2 feet.  Cast to where you want it an dlet it go to work . These usally get hit on the sinking motion so it is easier if you are on a dock or using a crappie rod or in a boat.

Try somewhere in the Sierra Nevada mountains east of Modesto. \nI haven't fished near Modesto but the Sierra's are usually awesome for fishing anywhere in California. There are less crowds, traffic, more parking and clean air in the mountains than down in the valley. Remember to take sunscreen and bug spray. Go to your local sporting goods store that carries fishing gear and ask the person in the fishing dept to recommend a kid friendly fishing location. They probably won't tell you their secret spot but they can direct you to some nice places I'm sure.\n\nRemember to have patience when fishing with kids.  Don't expect to catch a trophy fish yourself that day, kids are happier to catch 5 little fish that spend all day going after one big fish. Get your son hooked on fishing then you will have a fishing buddy for life. That's what my dad did for me 25+ years ago and I still look forward to our day's together on the water. ~~~><>-----Fish on!

You have good fishing surrounding you all over the place!  Any body of water that you can get access to will produce fish.  Try Lake Travis or any of the rivers in the hill country.  You'll catch largemouth bass, crappie,channel catfish, yellow catfish, blue catfish.....plus a few other species.  Try the Guadalupe River, the San Gabriel, the Colorado.....go into the hill country and fish the Sabinal or the Frio.....have fun!

I usually fish for bass their are not as smelly as the northern pike, although those pike put up a good fight. We usually catch them on a 3/8 oz. spinner bait in a chart. or white/chart color. Red and white dare devils work also, pretty much any thing will work, we have caught them on 7" Black power worms 5" senko's ( they are a little pricey for pike though) my parents neighbor swears by 6 to 8 inch minnows. The spinner bait is probably the easiest way I belive to catch them, as long as they are close by they will inhale them, then it's fight on. Just cast out and reel in. You may want a steel leader I usually just use fire line in 14lb or 20lb and haven't lost one yet, although I would have liked to some times. Good luck and catch them Pike.

Obviously it's best to try and "match the hatch" but if you don't know whats hatching the try a wet  MONTANA nymph. If you can see fish rising to dry flies then I like to try a SEDGE. If you use a very dark one then you can see it floating on the water even at quite long range and this helps. If I had only one fly in my box then it would have to be a bloody butcher. A great allrounder. Good luck and thanks for your question!!

I go fly fishing for trout! It's a lot of fun. I find that brown and green flies work the best.

First off I love bass fishing, I saw an article earlier that must have been put on by an upset wife, she was right in alot of ways. I have won small tournments ( open team tournments) with any where from 15 to 25 boats in them. I fish the Walmart BFL series and a local club here in Western New York. I haven't won any big ones yet but still trying, I fish the Empire division in New York and the Shendoah division in Virginia. It can be verry exensive or fairly in expensive, depending on your job. I'm lucky to have a pretty decent paying job that allows me to be able to do this, with out it I'd find a way though. My father won a tournment that paid almost $10,000.00 two years ago on Chautauqua Lake, which is aprox. 45 minutes from Erie, PA. The water was in the 70's wind was calm and we started out in a Fog delay that morning( another words they wouldn't let us start fishing until it was safe) for three hours. It was a nice sunny day after the fog lifted and was probabl in the mid 70's. I didn't fair well due to my partners fish had already moved off the structure they were holding on and he didn't want to go into my dad's area, which he had that choice being the boater. My father won pitching senko's for two days strait and also had the big bass( largest bass caught in the tourney) on senkos. If the wind picks up we usually will put a little weight to help get the senko down, they usually fall pretty good. If what area are you in in PA, maybe we could go fishing some time. I'll leave you a couple of websites to check out tournments that may be fairly close to you. The BFL co-anglers entry fee is $100.00 and I'm not sure what the Bassmasters entry fee is I believe it is also a Hundred dollars, and you fish for around $2500 to  $3000. in local tournments they genrally run 25 to 50 dollars depending where they are at. Feel free to contact me at bmck33@yahoo.com any time. hope this helps you some, Bill

Wow, I hope I can answer all these. First off I live in central Florida and have fished the Harris Chain of lakes for many years as well as others.\n\nAt this time of year as the water is cooling, it;s best to start slowing down your presentation. Lures to use is a good question and depends on where you're fishing and what type of water you are in, stained, clear etc.. Also depends on the bottom and structure and location ( shoreline, deep water, etc)\n\nI myself prefer shoreline and use top water lures like the 11G - 13 G or S series  Rapalas and of course the old standby plastic worms and colors very depending on water clarity but for the most part it's Red or Moccasin color work best here. You mentioned a steady retrieve, for that try the all around favorite Spinner bait in white or chartreuse\n\nTo have success at Bass fishing the first thing you have to do is know your prey inside and out. Remember the bass is a preditor and lays in ambush for his food, so you have to go to him.\nTo do that you have to go to the bottom for the best fish.\n\nThe Tips I'd give you and it sounds stupid I know but if you want to catch bass remember 1 a bass is a preditor 2 he can't ware sunglasses and has no eye lids, so if your in the sun with no glasses where do you go 3 he hears with his lateral line and has sight that is unparalleled and a mind equal with yours and will challenge the best of fishermen. Remember he is the King of his domain.\n\nFrom a sportsman's view always remember when that big one gets away, don't get mad, it only means he was a better fish than you were a fishermen.

I don't know what you are bringing on your visit. Some places would require a boat. A good place is just south of muncie off st rd 3 toward new castle. A lake called summit lake. there is plenty of places for bank fishing as when as a ramp. This is idle speed only. at the same exit as summit there is a small state owned property called province pond. Its a little growed up for bank fishing but a small ramp for small boats. This is trolling motors only. East of muncie is prairie creek resevour, bigger lake with unlimited speed.
