My first kayak. Just bought one yesterday. Nice Pelican, fishing yak. wooot. First one ever, im excited. Will be out on Silver Lake This Saturday late afternoon/night and looking for something different for Sunday. i live out in prospect. so anyone with any good ideas let them fly. not to familiar with all the waters out that way. anything new will be good for me, and scenic if possible. in case fishing doesn't work out, i can at least enjoy the view. :)

More crazy 20+mph winds so I hope you've got an anchor. Haven't been to many places in your area because they're spaced far, not that great, or privately/town owned. Scoville Reservoir is a huge exception & definitely meets your requirements...scenic, not far from Prospect and the "something different" is the bowfin. I might go look for them Sunday if my arms aren't sore from lifting smallies into the boat all day tomorrow. Actually, forget all that...please go somewhere crappier if the wind forecast doesn't improve for Sunday...Scoville isn't big but there's lots to see & you'll enjoy exploring it a billion times more if you aren't removing branches from your eyes all day/dodging the weekend trout people (if you can avoid going there after I just hyped it up for you.) Some other scenic places: Breakneck, Hopeville, Millers, Wintergreen, Burr...all those state parks are decent but you're expected to stop fishing at sunset and leave, which is not always possible...Winchester (bring a good book) and Black Pond - all of these are largely non-residential and you won't have to deal with crazy fast boats at any of them. Not saying they all have spectacular fishing but I don't think any of them will disappoint you if you want scenic. Go see if you can survive the Batterson wind vortex on Sunday instead. Congrats on the yak.
