Forest Trout Lake Special regulations allow year round trout fishing and every year the DEC stocks a combined 5 to 10 thousand rainbow and lakers in this deep water lake. Other stocking in recent years include landlocked salmon and walleye. Trout Lake also has a solid population of smallmouth bass. Public access is car-top from the Trout Lake Road.
Most anglers target the north end of the lake since it has better fish holding structure.
