Howard Eaton Resorvior

Have fished this body of water for Pike in the past with my flyrod and have had a good time doing it! Is the Pike bite on and are they in the shallows right now. Any info would greatly appreciated! Thanks

Lots o hammer handles.
 
Fun on tip ups too.
 
 

Where is this body of water?

Lake is up to full pool... \
There is a cement ramp at both ends now.

no real size to the pike because ther are so many of them.  remember that this body of water is electric motors only.

So is this lake in NY or Pa.  I always go by Erie speedway on way to Holiday Valley skiing.  I was thinking about getting a NY fishing lic.   Opps sorry re-read East of speedway. 
 
Was still thinking of NY lic and maybe for salmon and maybe taking pontoon up to Lake
Chautauqua.  Has anyone fished this lake?

It's actually very close to the PA/NY state line.

The easiest way to access it if you are not familiar with North East is to take Route 426. Route 426 can be accessed off of State Route 89 in the Bororough of North East (also known as South Lake Street). Follow 426 for maybe 3-4 miles, and you will come to a section of the road that is very curvy. On one of those curves, you will see the typical PFBC signs that will say Howard Eaton Reservoir. This is Black Road, , you don't even really have to turn on to it, just go straight instead of following the curve through on 426 and you'll be there within a mile.
 

Just to clarify, this lake IS in PA, but the East side is 150 yds. or so from the NY line.  As Pixburghscottie mentioned, you can access the West side of the lake from his directions, or keep going on 426 past Family Affair campground and you'll see a "welcome to NY" sign.  Take a right on the dirt road (Stateline Road) BEFORE this sign and your at the East launch or dam side of the lake.  I prefer launching on this side because it is deeper and as summer approaches less weedy. 
I have caught quite a few pike from Eaton over 30" over the years, but you'll catch many, many hammerhandles before you catch a larger one...Most of mine have come through the ice...there are muskie in this lake too, just not in any number.
Bingsbaits is also right about this being a great place to take younguns because there is little chance of them getting bored.
This lake doesn't get much pressure because it's electric motor only and it's a rather large lake (roughly the same surface area as findley lake a few miles away).

This Musky was caught  and released in eaton res.

I live less than 5 minutes from Eaton, I have fished it many times, but never caught much other than stunted gills and a few pike. In a week or so, I'm gonna start throwing plugs at dusk for walleyes. I hear of a few 4-6lb walleyes lurking in these waters. I have a feeling there is a decent walleye population in this lake, but nobody really ever trolls for them due to the summer weeds.
 
Ill try a few different locations on the lake since it is all accessable by foot.
