Black Lake Is GREAT fishing. I have caught many small month and a lot of panfish. I have caught a few pike and have seen many big ones caught. Use rubber worms in the weed beds for bass and minnows for the pike.

Re: Black lake N.Y. Help

Flahthead we have a camper and stay at McClear's Cottage Colony (315) 375-6508. I have heard that the Log Cabin is also a good place (315) 375-6691. There are many other places up there and they do fill up fast. There are many places and ways to fish the lake. We are mostly bass fishing and fish the weed beds around Tavern Island, Prince Island Rollway Bay and around Big Island.<br />We use real worms and rubber worms. I have done good with Mepps spinners also. If you are looking for pike I have been told minnows in the weeds at the west end of Bowman Island and Hogsback Island is a good spot. The main thing to REMEMBER is it is a shallow lake and make sure you have a good map and watch the buoys. If you look on the web you should be able to find a site for St. Lawrence County, NY find more info there. Good luck.

Flahthead I hope you hvae a good time up there. Like I said before make sure you get a good map of the lake. You have a lot of rock shoals around the islands and the buoys can be hard to see if the lake gets rough and it can rough very quickly.<br />However the fishing can be very good also. Have fun and catch a few for me. We will be heading up some time in July and again in September.
