Duane:
There is great pike fishing on Lake Lonely, but access is only from Crescent Avenue at the Lake Lonely Boat Livery (Launching Fee $5 - if it has not gone up). Problem is you have to return by 6:30pm to get your boat out of the water before he locks up the access gate.
To find Lake Lonely Boat Livery get off Northway at Exit 15 toward Saratoga Springs. Take Route 9 to sign indicating right turn for Saratoga Harness (that is Crescent Avenue). Continue on Crescent Avenue to first stop sign. Drive straight across and continue on Crescent Avenue to Lake Lonely Boat Livery. You can purchase large shiners there for bait, but ask Billy Perry (the owner) about where to fish for the pike. Tell him Eagle Ed sent you and he will give you the best advice on recent catches.
Usually best fishing is just off the weed beds at the Northern end of the lake and off the point where the lake turns back toward the Saratoga National Golf Course.
