is there still brook trout in the lake?

Spent 3 hours there yesterday. We were 4 guys and got only 1 fish. The lake used to be more productive. I saw at least 3 aerators working which I guess changed the fish activity/behavior quite a bit. What I do not understand is why those aerators were not working in the winter. I thought they were installed last summer to prevent winter kills but I am surprised that they operate only in summer. Now the lake has a lot of weed and the shore is surrounded with 5 ft high plants that will catch your hooks every time you take it out if the water. I blame that on that summer aeration

I see the fishing might change know that it's been stocked

Doesn't seem to be much going on except some shrimp. The lake is also kind of small and dingy.

Slow slow slow Lots of shrimp pop up when drilling holes I think they have plenty of food

My Buddy and me reeled in 10 rainbows in 3 hours on June 24. Decent size. Lovely spot. We used Gulp dough. The orange and green with sparkles. That's what got them.

When people do that to me I stare them blankly for a moment then just keep casting. Only have to fly 1 or 2 casts by their head and they get the point.

fly fish here june 5, lots of small ones. lots of fun for first hour until 3 fisherman came and start fishing right beside me. I guess these guys are new in fishing. hope people will learn the etiquette and respect other. Cant even cast my fly, worried of hooking them in their ears and eyes. oh well, anyway good part of it they have fun and i pack my gear and left.

They just stocked the Lake. 6" to 8" rainbows. Went out this morning and landed three on rainbow sparkle power bait. And shockingly they actually got the aerator working this spring. You can see ten bubble areas throughout the Lake.

guy , was there 2 days ago some open water did not fish but seen no signs of a winter kill .

Has anyone fished in 2017?? Has lake winter killed??

Ice Report: 4 in
4-5" everywhere I drilled

Ice is 4-5 inches, its fishing well . worms seem to be the ticket..

I was there 15 Nov in the morning and the lake was all covered with ~ 1cm of ice after a night of -4 temp.

Fished my regular spot and caught three fish in 15 minutes. If you are using powerbait stop. Berkeley small floating worms 5' off the bottom is the best fall bait.

Fished on Monday of the long weekend caught 3 Good fishing

disregard last comment. wrong lake.

Fished for 6 hours on the weekend. Caught one small Pike (trolling from boat on south east side). way too many weeds. Lake was covered in surface weeds. Lure would be in the water for just seconds and you would have weeds on.

Just a question?? thinking bout fishing there in the next week or so.. do they allow powered boats on the lake or just canoe's.. I have a small 14' boat! thanks for any input!!

1 hour and we caught 2 3 pounders. Good fishing

Slow day. Only 5 or 6 bites all morning but got one over 14 inches. Shore fishing.

Great morning shore fishing, limited out up to 12" rainbows. Power bait with sparkles. 7 ft off bottom.

Caught my limit in an hour. Sparkling powerbait 5 feet off the bottom. Great morning at Chickakoo.

Awesome spot for fishing caught 4 in about 1.5 hrs. Power bait. One was 18'' keeper. Rest about 10 to 12". Release them for next time.

2 trout in 2 hours with 4 more bites. Used sparkling powerbait

Fished here Friday and caught 2 - 8" in 2 hours. Both using Carolina rig with sparkling power bait. Had 4 more bites but couldn't hook them. Next outing I'll try small spoons

A HotSpot Marker was added for Chickakoo Lake

Had 6 or 7 rainbows on the line back on Tuesday, and landed 3. Using a small spinner casting from a boat. Great action!

What jig did you use? Which part of lake did you go?

Got my limit in 1.5 hours this afternoon. First time ever.

Yes electric motors are allowed

Is electric trolling motor on inflatable pontoon allowed in this lake
