Saginaw Bay and the Holloway Res, done a lot of fishing on the bay thumb side !! Halloway is 10 mins from here , great for getting out of work and getting the kids and going for a few hours !!! John
Kuskokwim river and it trbuteries. Also lots of lakes and having fun jumping beaver dams. We go up to where we grind the aluminum props down to nothing camping and moose hunting.
I don't think I saw any Arkansas posts in here yet. I grew up going to Lake Oauchita, but now am closer to Greers Ferry and will be spending most of my time there. Both are in the range of 40000 acres.
I also plan on spending some afternoons at the very small lake about 5 miles down the road from me...Beaverfork Lake. About 1000 acres and city owned.
Lake Winnipesaukee in central New Hampshire. 6th largest inland lake in the country, 72 square miles, 7 waterfront towns to visit, shoals on 275 islands to fish.
The dam was put there by the Army Corps of engineers in the 50's to connect the lower and upper parts of the lake even without the dam it would still be the biggest lake...and only because Greenwood Lake goes up into New York
As for my lakes my favorites are where we will be moving in Arkansas and thos are Bull Schoals and Lake Norfork as for here in NJ while im stuck here it would be Hopatcong and Greenwood Lakes...if you happen to be on one of them and see the "Southern Belle" gimme a shout and say Hi!
Smith Mountain Lake Va. I guess it is a small lake by the criteria set forth (20,000 ac. = small?). Others are Badin in NC (3,500-5,600ac. depending on who you believe), and Belews (3,200) also in NC. All of these lakes are gorgeous and really a wonderful place on weekdays and crowded as rush hour on the weekends.
