More interested in views than catching lunkers and asking people to give up their secret fishing holes.

Mohawk Lake(s) - Fantastic if you know what you're doing.
South Colony Lake - No kidding, but you have to fish before sunrise or after sunset. My buddy brought his flyrod, waded into the frigid waters, and snagged several in just a few minutes. Small, but what you'd expect at that altitude.
- I didn't say it was your fault. I said I was blaming you.
