They're in Winni Link, problem is you have to weed your way through all the 2 and 3 pounders and Lakers to find em. That's a problem we don't have at Squam, there are no small fish there, actually very few fish at all and even less Lakers (maybe 1 or 2 a year)
To that add "way too much bait" for the residents and it equals a very simple equation. Way less fish stocked, way too much bait equals bigger fish, but very hard to get them to bite. Throw in a very tough lake to fish and it's easy to figure out why so many are "Squamed" (skunked) But sometimes good things come to those that wait, so come early, stay late and be carefull the Squam Rock Gods don't get ya.
Most times we run 4 to 6 lines and only get one nice one and allot of times the only bite all day, maybe 2 days sometimes. With the tiny Salmon they have stocked the last 2 years (couldn't be helped) it looks like it's going to stay that way for a while, as long as a few survive the stocking each year. When they go in, 8 or 9 to a pound, do the math, that's maybe 1 ounce and maybe 3" long, perfect bite size for most any of the resident fish in the Lake..
Be happy to take you out on Big Squam sometime and show you around, I have a good map, lol.
