Dean, Jim

Abstract:

Dean recommends a fishing trip to the state's mountain lakes because the waters contain such a great variety of game fish, an angler never knows what he is going to catch next. He discusses each species; what is the best lake to catch them in; what time of year to fish for them; tactics; and lures or bait.
