Forked is a good bass lake. Can't say I've ever gone after or caught walleyes there but a friend of mine caught some small salmon in the river once on a camping trip. If you're tossing top-water, a crankbait or wacky-rigged rubber worm, I think that constitute's "targeting" if an ECO wants to press the issue. If you're trolling a Rapalla, maybe not? A better bet might be to drive down to the carry into Raquette Lake give the brook trout a try on chairrock's suggested lure (above). Or, come back to Forked after bass season opens.Life's short, hunt hard!

Hey, if Bluegill aren't still spawning your son can have a lot of fun using a worm or salmon egg. Aside from some restrictions, just getting some experience is a great teacher.Never Argue With An Idiot. They Will Drag You Down To Their Level And Beat You With Experience.

Well, that didn't take long. Hadn't even finished unloading the canoe and he was yelling to me that he got one. Luckily I had already flattened the barbs so he was able to get it off the hook no problem. Snapped a pic and sent it on its way. He caught another one about the same size towards the end of the trip and he insisted that it was a largemouth instead of a smallmouth, but I didn't see it. Other than those two he mostly caught a bunch of other little stuff fishing from the canoe with my brother-in-law.Attached Files

It's part of the Raquette River chain and it's possible for a walleye to make it up over Buttermilk Falls
