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!

My wife Christiane joined Tim & I on the lake today. Overnight the temperatures dipped below freezing and the morning saw cold, drizzle and N/NE winds of 10 to 20 knots. What a miserable way to spend your anniversary weekend! The water was a chilly 46 degrees. We fished until about noon with very little success. One laker was all we caught for our efforts this morning. Christiane & I went to Memphremagog in the afternoon and she caught about 10 to 15 bass in a few short hours up to 3.5 pounds. I managed to salvage that one!!!!!

Once again, Tim & I headed out to another lake in antisipation of yeaterdays success. I figured if I hit enough bodies of water, I would eventually get into a 7 pounder. Air temp in the upper 40s at the start of the day & water temps were 47 degrees. Still really cold for the bass bite, but we thought wed give it a try anyway. Winds N/NW and 10 to 20 mph. Morning bite slow, but afternoon bite with the aid of the sun picked up. About 20 bass up to & over 5 pounds were caught & released again today. Overall, a good day!

Tim & I fished again today, but on another lake this time. All I can say is BIG FISH Cold morning temps of 41 degrees and S winds of about 25 knots with stronger gusts all day long. Today a small fish was around 4 pounds. We only caught about 25 bass, but they were all big. Many over 5 pounds and a couple just under 6. One of them, on the scale went 5.15, damn! Jerk-Baits & Fin-S once again accounted for the fish. We even hooked a laker only to have it get off at the boat. Excellent Day!!!!

Tim joined me today for another good day on Lake Memphremagog. The morning was a little chilly and 41 degrees. It was sunny but very cold with light N/NW winds. The offshore humps were producing the bigger fish as Tim locked up with several 3s & 4s in the morning. Most of the bigger fish once again came from deeper water. The Barometer was about as high as it could possibly get and this wasnt helping. We stayed deep all day and managed to get about 30 to 50 smallmouth up to 4.5 pounds. A pretty good day all in all!
