what is the prettiest lake you have been on

[kodiak]

let us know what state it is.   dont let the fishing influence this

i vote is for Lake Powell Utah

[Guest avid]

Oh my,

Great question.

My answer is that I don't know the name of the lake, but it is in a Valley by Delhi New York.  Surrounded by the mountains.  Lots of forest and rockface.

It was breathtaking.

Trappers Lake, Colorado.

It is a natural lake on the top of a mountain high in the Rockies. It looks like an Ansel Adams picture. It's so high, that it doesnt thaw until the last week of May, 1st week of June. It is full of Native Colorado cutthroat trout. Gorgeous!

actually a tough question...

I like different lakes for different reasons and they are pretty in their own ways...

a few of my favorites...

Echo Lake, Ontario

Dale Hollow, Tennessee

TVA side of Kentucky Lake

[Captain Cali]

1) Lake Powell 2) Lake Havasu

LAKE POWELL......TO ME THE GREATEST PLACE ON EARTH

[roadwarrior]

Antero Reservior, Colorado.

This little lake is nestled in an expansive valley surrounded by the Collegiate Range of the Rocky Mountains  (2nd,  3rd & 4th highest mountains in the lower 48 states). The 14,000 foot peaks include Mt. Havard, Mt Oxford, Mt. Yale, Mt. Princeton and Mt. Columbia.

[Catt]

[fishingchef80]

Glacier National Park, Montana. Trout fishing in the northern rockies what else could be better??

[Cigarlover 1]

Wow great thread. I would have to say in my limited experience of being able to fish different waters my favorite so far and its not really even the whole lake but it's from the BR Fork trip. On the last day we were there I ended up on Art Thomleys boat with Alpster. We started the day fishing up a branch off the main lake, we started working our way back this cove and came to a small railroad trussel about 10 or 15 ft wide. We made our way through this and ended up trolling down this little branch of water that was maybe 30 ft wide. It was a mix of an Amazon setting and beautiful TX countryside. I kick myself to this day for not taking any pictures and no matter how well I explain it I can't do it justice. It was just really beautiful. Anyway that's my favorite to date.

[MendotaBassMaster]

Have never seen anything that can beat the foothills of the Sierra Madres. Huites is a major gem.
