I fished with Bobby & Francois today on a nearby lake and thought it was going to be an unbelievable day when we hooked into a Lake Trout in the 1st 10 minutes. The rest of the day wasn’t as good! The water temps were 57 degrees and the air temps were upper 40s. These north winds and cold nights are killing me! The winds were blowing in at 10 to 20 once again, but directly from the north this time. With the heavy drizzle all day long, we got about a 10 minute break from this crap. Trolling fly rods we missed two trout or salmon. Casting with spinning tackle, we caught a few bass, but missed more than we caught. The weather has been like an elevator lately. I wish it would become stable. Tough day, thank god for the 6 pound laker. Here’s a shot from the trip Bobby had with me two weeks earlier. Too bad it couldn’t have been that great again!!

I fished with Denis, Max & Julie all day today and we caught about 100 or more bass up to 4.5 pounds. Air temps in the upper 60s and water temps in the lower 60s once again. The winds were still from the N/NW at about 10 to 20 knots as well. Most of the fish came on 1/8oz. jigs with 3 inch grubs. Downsizing accounted for the excellent success rate as we fished behind others that were not as fortunate. Sometimes you just have to adjust your presentations for the conditions you are faced with to make a good day a great one. This was a great one!!!

I fished with Tony, Toby & his son all day with pretty good success on Crankbaits & Light Jigs. The air temp was in the upper 60s and the water temp was in the lower 60s. The winds were from the N/W at 10 to 20 knots. We caught about 50 bass up to 3.5 pounds in the 8 hours on the water. Most of them seemed to be the smaller males, staging before the spawn. Good day for numbers!!

I fished with Serge & his father for trout, trolling flies for a few hours on the lake and missed two. Short strikes! The air temp was in the upper 60s and the water was in the lower 60s. Overcast skies gave way to light drizzle making it difficult to fish. Damp & cold air felt like it was more like the lower 40s. We caught a few bass up to 4 pounds but shifted lakes around noon. Memphremagog wasnt much better with the waves around 3 foot fron the North. About 20 bass were caught there up to 3.5 pounds. Tough conditions for the day!!!

The morning saw another miserable, rainy, cold day in the making. We waited until the afternoon when it cleared up to go out. We fished a nearby lake for about 4 hours and caught 3 lakers trolling fly rods and about 10 bass on spinning tackle. One of the lakers became dinner for the two of us back at the room. All the smallies up to 5 pounds were released unharmed! A decent multi-species type of day!
