what is the prettiest lake you have been on

[Guest Bountiful_Waters]

Lake Mateos, Mexico

[Triton21]

I agree with cajun1977.  Love the Big "T".  Have seen Powell but never got to fish her.

Balaton , Hungary

I miss the good old times  :'(

[VABasser]

This is mine, Crystal Clear Waters, Mountains surrounding, and 111 miles of shoreline. Endless adventures and perfect smally and largemouth fishing.

Pend Orielle?  I would probably say the same.  It's in Idaho for all of you who don't know.

Manarka,which is a oxbow lake in Vadelia,LA across the MS River from Natchez,MS.It was once a part of the MS River that is as "fishy" a lake as I've ever seen.Seventeen of miles of great fishing.

You are too much man!  ;D ;D ;D

Muddy,

I thought about Greenwood Lake too, she's a beauty! (Remember Jungle Habitat?)

DeLee36,

Dale Hollow Res, TN, that was another one that crossed my mind (about 5 miles above the dam).

In Canada the most beautiful body of water is probably Lake Huron, Ontario, but it's a tough call.

The water is crystal clear, the woods are a pleasant mix of conifers and hardwoods,

the lake is studded with islands of all sizes (In the "Thirty-Thousand Islands" region of Georgian Bay).

You can run out for miles and find excellent fishing for largemouth, smallmouth, walleyes and pike,

where there's not another boat in sight (well, back then anyway).

In the United States I'd have to go with the Withlacoochee River, Florida.

It was back around 1970, when Lois and I first set eyes on this Floridian semitropical heaven.

Similar to Catt's image of Toledo Bend, the area was cloaked with bald cypress, palm trees and

giant live oaks festooned with Spanish Moss. We observed countless ospreys, kingfishers, bald eagles,

anhingas, bitterns, herons, ibises & on & on. Lois & I had our camera bags open the whole week shooting pictures,

and did precious little fishing. On a sad note, encroachment by mankind, his structures, channelization and boat traffic

have reduced this paradise to a vestige of its old self :'(

[Catt]

Withlacoochee is awesome looking reminds me of Caddo Lake

[RoLo]

Yup, you got it Catt, that makes my heart thump

[Catt]

Rolo I have a good friend who lives in Inverness Florida within a couple miles of the river, it's still beautiful in my eyes.

[telecaster]

I think just about all lakes can have there pretty spots on them. I gotta pick one I'm gonna say Lac Camachigima in Quebec.We use to go Northern pike and Walleye fishing there.The place was just stunning beautiful gin clear water great views and no civilazation except the camp.I really miss going there.

[Guest the_muddy_man]

Avid: you need to go to confession or sumpin!!!!!!!

Rolo: Yea abd do you remember: The Red Apple Rest;Sterling Forest, 7 lakes Parway(and The Lakes) going into Harriman Park and the Long Pond ????????

[eyedabassman]

I'll second Table Rock in Missouri.

I too agree Table Rock 8-)

[Long Mike]

Catt, great photos!  When you can't feel the heat, humidity or mosquitoes, they are even more beautiful.

Muddy, I thought Mauch Chunk was the sound a drunk makes when he pukes.  Before I wised up, I used to make that sound a lot.

Oh wow, that jogs my memroy :-?

I remember Sterling Forest, Harriman Park & Seven Lakes Pkwy "very well".

I lived in Hillside, NJ then, and whenever our Sunday drive took us north,

we usually ended up taking 17 north to Seven Lakes Pkwy (there was no 287 back then).

We also did a lot of 9W to Tallman and the Palisades.

Mine would have to be Table Rock.  I love this lake.  I haven't been there in a few years but every year I think of heading back.

Greenwood Lake is an interstate lake approximately 7 miles long and the lake is 9 miles, straddling the border of New Jersey and New York. It is located in West Milford, New Jersey (in Passaic County) and Greenwood Lake, New York (in Orange County).

Fisherman's House, Greenwood Lake (New Jersey) 1877 by Jasper Francis CropseyThe lake was originally called "Quampium" by the Munsee Native Americans who lived there. It was renamed "Long Pond" by Europeans, who settled the area as a farming community in the 1700s, and eventually came to be re-christened "Greenwood Lake."

Around the corner was a producer: Green Turtle Pond - Before Monksville, Stonetown had some good ponds along the stream - Upper Greenwood was a big fish producer -

Best of the area although difficult to get to: Bear Swamp Lake, located on the top of the Ramapo Mountains in Mahwah.

What a gem this place was before Green Acres.

[MALTESE FALCON]

Up in Michigan's upper peninsula there are hundreds of lakes that are beautiful. It would be difficult to pick just one. Some of the most beautiful sun rises and sunsets I have ever seen.

Another beautiful lake is Lake Nipissing, in North Bay, Ontario.

 Mosquito Lakes Ca. Two small lakes (about 2 acers each) full of stocked trout

wish I had a pic.  :'(

Dale Hollow, there is nothing like pulling one of those big bronzebacks out, and there are some BIG ones in there too.  But you are only allowed to keep two, one can be under 15 inches and the other has to be over 22 inches. I am sure all of you know how big a 22 inch smalljaw is.  It is fun to catch those 21 1/2 inch ones and have to turn them loose.

Until the day comes that I am the winner of Powerball and having nothing better to do than motor my Gambler bassboat around the US for my one man Bass Tourney..... I'll have to say that my pick is my home lake, Lake Champlain here in VT. Just haven't had the opportunity to get anywhere else with one exception and that was a man made lake in Indiana called Heritage Lake but... what good is a lake that has rules such as "You can only travel the lake in clockwise pattern" huh??? Least to say that I wasn't impressed with the place.

[nebass]

For you older guys: the prettiest Lake WE WISH WE WERE ON: VERONICA LAKE

You don't need to be older to appreciate that, that's a lake I would use my "natural" bait in

[doog]

LAKE GEORGE NY in the adirondack mountains the most beautiful place on earth
