Fishing at Lake Thomas A. Edison

Anglers make the long drive to Lake Thomas A. Edison in search of trophy size German brown trout. A record brown weighing 23 pounds 4 ounces was caught in Edison in 1972. The lake also has good size rainbow and brook trout. Some fishermen like to snowmobile into the lake to be there for early fishing when the ice first begins to break up. Others swear that the fall offers equally as good fishing.

Where to Fish on
Lake Thomas A. Edison

Among the best places to fish, whether from bank or boat, are around the inlets of Cold Creek on the north shore and Mono Creek at the east end. The ferry can carry you up to the Mono Creek inlet in the morning and pick you up again about 4:45 PM. Float tubes work well there, too; but be prepared for cold water.

Both north and south banks drop off quickly. Trollers like to work in a large loop around the lake and in the area around the dam. The little point of land just east of the campground is a great place to fish from the shore as well as in the Warm Creek inlet.
