Saranac Lake Fishing Adventure (part 2)
Once again the annual spring trip was planned for Middle Saranac Lake and once again Jon's boys would be joining us, however this time they would be arriving in Jacob's boat. DAY 1
Jacob opted for his solo sleeping
arrangements nearby as usually
So it looks like we eventually headed out onto the lake in the afternoon to see if the fish would cooperate. Like most years, whether spring or fall, day 1 is usually about getting camp setup and just relaxing and letting the worries of the world melt away, at least for a few days.
Also looks like a beautiful spring day in the north woods.
We eventually all climbed aboard the Grumman and headed out onto the lake. Jacob is on the board with a feisty perch.
Never gets old
As we often do, we took a little break from fishing to hang out on the beach at the eastern end of the lake. Pups do need to go potty after all. So does Isla. The lowering sun always provides a
magnificent view and effect
Woke up to a cloudy day, it could be good for
fishing though.
That's what we are looking for
So as has been the tradition for a few years now, we headed to an undisclosed location on the lake that has been very productive in the spring. It is virtually unfishable in the fall because of the weeds but has since become our favorite spring location. Jacob had the hot hand initially and landed a few good ones. The fishing continued to be really good on this afternoon, Isla was very excited and apparently hungry, how does that taste? 1st mate with a couple more, looks like maybe we have a double? Nope, Wyatt is snagged. Everybody got in on the action, here's the captain with a pair of pike.
Wyatt with a nice pike and a real nice
smallmouth bass
Jake lands one more nice one for good measure
Another great end to a great day in the north country ![]() I am sure we cooked up something good to eat on our last evening in camp. We always enjoy a good fire and the sounds and smells of the Adirondacks. There is also nothing like the haunting call of the Loons to lull you into dreamland while you drift off to sleep. DAY 4 Eventually we do need to pack up and head home. This was a great trip as usual, but the fishing was exceptional. I left out a good many "fish" pictures. See you in the fall, God willing |
