Sorry I missed your post. We fished Glass Lake for the Bailey Mtn Tourney. 1 trout caught total for whole tourney (by a woman). Haven't fished Shaver Pond this year, but did last year. Had 1 trout though the hole and **** thing spit the hook right out and fell back into the hole. Thompson's Lake in East Berne offers trout and is probably your best bet besides Shaver locally. Not sure where you would be coming from. Easy access and good end of the season fishing. If you go to Thompson's and the main gate is locked, you can go to the public boat launch just before the main entrance on Thompson's Lake Road. You have to park on the right against the wall so that the access remains clear because it is also the fire department's access to the lake in order to pump water for any fires in the area. You will have to venture to the middle of the lake where it is around 50 - 60 feet deep and set up there and work toward the east shore . This offers the best chance for trout and is also a great opportunity for perch as well. We fished there last Sunday with two other local guys and we had 3 really nice browns and 15-20 perch between us all with the occasional pickerel mixed in, which is a great day on Thompson's. Hope this helps and hopefully you are able to get to Thompson's Lake this year. Let me know if you need directions.
