Yeah...private lake community. We did an AirBnB for the long weekend. They had a little aluminum 12 footer and I brought an electric troller and battery. No wake allowed. Idle speed only. Many of the shoreline homes/cottages had pontoon boats. The eye opener was that I had no idea they made them that small. I guess it’s all you’d need for a lake that size with no wake rules, but still, these things were TINY!! I’m planning a return trip over Thanksgiving to a different Berkshire Lake. I’m really coming to enjoy the area and I’m thinking retirement location. The taxes are a lot more reasonable than I thought...but yeah....the HOA that “Sherwood Forest” community? No thanks. The one downside....these lakes all seem to have way too may pickerel and not enough Walleye...like ZERO walleye in the Berkshires.
you are only going to find walleye in the CT River for the most part. our state does a poor job of stocking, IMO. You get your typical spring and fall trout stocking and then occasionally get some fingerling pike or tiger muskies stocked in a few places. There's still decent fishing locally but it isn't something the state seems to really put much effort into.
It is a PH issue.
