• Where to Fish on Lake Saint Catherine

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Reported across Rutland County: bluegill, brook trout, brown trout, white sucker and largemouth bass. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. At Lake Saint Catherine the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns
