This lake vs. that lake? Fish preferences?

[charlie flanders]

Have you ever had the experience where a fish in one lake will hardly take any form of artifical but on another lake they will take most any artifcal?

 

Vacationed at a lake this summer where my normal micro jig and gulp maggot would draw a bite but on my home lake it wouldn't make it to the bottom. Now I'm not talking about all the little guys but 7"+ size fish.

 

Is the population structure, available food sources or what?

 

Let's talk! Tell us what your experience is!

Its probably an individual body of water thing. On a pond that never sees a fisherman, for example, the fish are likely to hit whatever comes by their nose. On heavily fished waters, like my own Lake Murray, it is a bit more of a challenge to find the combination that works.
