Farrington Lake 03-21-15 Open Water

Gotta keep in mind that they go in as fingerlings. Small enough for most medium sized predators to eat. The pickerel population likely feasts on them when its stocked. 2900 fingerlings really isn't that many for a lake with so much acreage. After seeing the monster I saw in there, I know they exist... Lurking the edges of the deeper sections looking to ambush their next victim. Also, this time of yr, check for where the state sets up the broodstock nets. These are ideal locations for finding mature fish right after ice out.
