| Milton, DE Posts: 69 | There are 3 great loves in my life (after my spouse) which are trout fishing in the spring, sailing (big boat) in the summer, and grouse hunting in the fall. I believe that somewhere along the shores of Lake Superior there is a place where I could put my camper that would be central to all (3) venues. Would anyone care to point me in the right direction?

| Cortland Manor, NY Posts: 82 | trout fishing, sailing, and (snow) skiing here... I am thinking Burlington, VT? There must be some grouse up there? | |

| Milton, DE Posts: 69 | Lake Champlain! now I hadn't thought of that. Boat draws 4 feet. I think that I'll order charts of the lake. Isn't the Battenkill within a few hours drive? Please accept my sincere gratitude for the benefit of your insight. Cheers, Dick | |

| Cortland Manor, NY Posts: 82 | my wife's brother bought his boat up there, it is a 38 ft Cook that draws 7 ft I think? does that sound right? He took it down through the canals, to the Hudson River, through Harlem River, Hell's Gate and out to Long Island Sound, where he keeps it. I believe most of the well known VT trout streams are 1+ hours south of Burlington: http://caddis.middlebury.edu/Trout/VTrivers/index.html I have only fished the Green River-- very pastoral, flows through farmland, full of small but aggressive rainbows. Great jumpers. | |
