Lewis County

[Smiths.R]

Howdy guys.  I grew up down in Dutchess county (Amenia).  I live outside of Baltimore MD now.  I'm going to near Croghan for vacation w/ my family.  My father-in-law is big into trout fishing, and I don't mind it, but I want to fish for bass.  I'd love ANY kind of help on a good spot to fish for bass.  I'm willing to drag my yak for a long while to get to a nice secluded place.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated. 
Thanks guys!
