Re: Sheridan lake fishing
The store at the resort will likely be a very good resource. Also your neighbours up there will be up to date on what the locals are using.
Re: Sheridan lake fishing
i know a person who caught their very first fish at sheridan. 4lb rainbow. anyone regardless of skill can catch a big fish there.
Re: Sheridan lake fishing
Hmm fished there for 20 years..this past July caught a few..biggest being just over 5 pounds.
from ice off..shallows 15..18 feet chronomid. .or drag a leech over the drop offs..or when it gets hot..fish go deep. .25...40 feet..long leaders. .100 feet. .lead core line or down riggers..
Big lake lots of areas to fish.
Used to be big fish was 10 pounds..now 5 pounds is big..lots of fishermen..some arrive in may..stay til Oct.
Cheers

Re: Sheridan lake fishing
I grew up on that lake. Most my family is still there. The fishing is not what it was in the 80s but it still can be good.
The advice srupp gave is spot on for that lake.
Re: Sheridan lake fishing
Congrats on the new cabin, good luck on the fishing. One word of advice if you are looking to get some trout outfits is to keep your eye on Craigslist, you should be able to pick up a few setups for a song, sometimes listed in the free section but always stuff on the sporting goods section. Once you figure out what works best you can then upgrade and have the CL ones to loan to visitors.
