Have a free pass from my wife to take my 10 year old son a fishing trip. We usually go to Plattsburgh every year as a family and my kid has grown to love fishing in the GUT (North hero). But wind is always a huge factor getting over there from Plattsburgh. Only going for 4 days so I don't want to lose any time to wind.
I'm thinking of some smaller lakes such as Saratoga or Lake Cossyuna. I guess my question is, are these lakes as loaded with fish as everyone says they are? And is the boat traffic crazy? I'd probably be going the last week of June during the week and avoiding weekends.
