Good to see NY representing like usual….I’m a little surprised that Cayuga isn’t on there. If there was only one NY lake in the top ten I would have guessed Cayuga. 

Only 2 of the 10 are southeast yet most pro tours visit mostly southeast I wonder if that tournament pressure has anything to do with it?

Pros (as well as opens, Toyotas, & BFLs) only go where the respective tours get paid to come.

What about Rayburn ❓

No - Lake Minnetonka....which while further down the central region list in prior years, has occasionally made an appearance.

Did anything in North Carolina make the list?

Hmm…where’s Lake Menderchuck?
