On the north end, you can stay at the Log Cabin Motel in Rhouses Point. Call ahead to make sure he's open. If the weathers good, we camp. There's a lot of places to stay along Rte 9.
If you hit the spawn, head over to Kelly Bay on the Vt side. There's a boat launch right as you come into Vt on Rte 2. Kelly Bay is good for L/M too. And there are pike in there. Some big ones.
Senkos, tubes and jerk baits work well. On the NY side, around the marinas. black and blue jigs.
