Lincoln Pond- A Bass fishing gem in the Adirondacks

A few miles outside of Elizabethtown NY is one of the nicest little fishing lakes in the North Country. The largemouth bass are plentiful here and many trophy fish over 5 pounds are caught each season. If you like fishing for bass in cover like stumps and weeds this lake is for you,

The lake also has a decent amount of northern pike and smallmouth bass and the fisherman with enough patience and luck may find himself hooked into one of the elusive tiger muskies that inhabit this 700 acre lake. Kids can have endless fun catching the abundant perch, crappie and sunfish which will readily take most any offering.

The state maintains a nice campground with sites on the water and also has rowboats and canoes for rent. For more information follow this link:

FISHING REPORT:

Lincoln Pond in Elizabethtown has been fishing really good this season. Largemouth bass are abundant and many nice 3-6 pounders have been caught. Fish the weed edges and numerous stumps. Live minnows and crayfish work well. Hot lures have been dark color soft plastics like Senkos and power worms. Spinnerbaits also are great for Bass and Northern Pike here. Smallmouth Bass are hitting on Tube Jigs, Crankbaits and Senkos. Try small tubes and rubber jigs for the nice crappie and perch
