    Most memorable lakes/streams

    Now that spring has arrived, those of us that fish and/or boat are probably looking forward to getting out on their favorite lakes. Being an avid tournament bass fisherwomen, I look forward to those cool early mornings on the water when the sun is just coming up over the horizon. The sounds and smell of my most favorite fishing spots will stay with me forever. Which leads to the topic of this thread.

    I am interested in knowing what lakes/streams are most memorable for some of you and why. So here are my favorite lakes, all of which have been fished for pleasure by the way.

    Even though I live smack in the middle of all the Fingerlakes, my most memorable are all Canadian lakes. Deer Rock lake was remembered for its beautifully strange reddish bottom, and total seclusion [at least it was 10 years ago]. Crotch Lake, and my favorite, not only had the best fishing and seclusion, but the wildlife was truly extraordinary. It was nothing to see families of raccoons at the waters edge, as well as beavers and loons you name it. Mississagagon , and Lake Kashwakamak were close runners up.

    So what are some of your favorites.

      Absolutely, this is also one of my favorite areas as well. Very nearby there is also a really great spot on a very remote stream. There is a roughly 30 foot angled slide that leads into a 10 foot waterfall into a short shear walled canyon that exits over a dome of granite. You paddle right of the dome to drop over a ledge and safety. You blow it and get pushed left and into an undercut boulder. I have paddled this stream 4 times. There are no campfire rings, no fishermen trails, no sign anyone has been there.
