Good week all around, school was a bear again but may 13th its over for good We got in 9 holes one day and  caught a couple small salmon in the river including my first on the fly. Fished both days this weekend, yesterday sucked and today was great. Monday the Garder snakes were out in force so I snapped a shot of 3 of them at once...kinda neat.

Get that minnow!



Here is beerman just before the impact of his "power-fade"



MUSH! gotta get the boat to the lake....



As if the long drag/push wasnt tiring enough there was still some pack ice....about 50 feet of it...... guess we were the first to fish it this year...mike walked right onto it no problem...slid the boat out, we piled in and jumped up and down...smassshhh!....through it went and off we were




LOOOOOOng day of squat and more of the same, we fished every which way and depth...vex, trolling, worms, flies, crayfish, jigs, plugs, ice jigs with maggots, it sucked! We fished a good 8 hours finally nailed a 15" splake on a husky and we were done. 



Today we wanted to go vex up and possibly troll some lakers like last weekend...no go, the wind was howling, there were whitecaps, and we got a small boat. Scanned "the book" and picked a spot with a variety of fish and cover from the prevaling winds, back on the road for a while and we finally get there. We fished hard and yielded two LL Salmon which I was lucky to get both of and we missed a few more, they were hitting short today...


The first one was a fattie which tipped the digi scale at 7 lbs even!



Strong little bugger....beerman just keeps clicking the cam



Next was this nice hookjaw who had a bum eye....



Beerman really likes takin goofy shots of me with squirming fish....



All fish released

Real nice salmon guys. I drove through the heart of the Adirondacks last weekend and was amazed at how many lakes were still frozen solid.
Spring comes late in mountain country.

[Pikeguy]

Those snakes are cool. Looks like beerman was gonna just crush it off the tee!

[Robb]

Nice Salmon Harry! How'd he fight??

[Hood]

CK- I dont know if they ate the minnow, they were pecking at it a while and i gave up watching

Nice Salmon Harry! How'd he fight??

He fought OK, no jumps or huge runs but a few little screamers and he buried down more than anything. We actually thought it was a nice laker until it came boatside.

[blaque]

First thing i thought of was SNL's Chippendales skit with Farley and Swayze only with camo on LMFAO!!!!!! Then "Tommy likey, tommy want wingyyy" from beerman........you guys have me pissin myself at my desk !!!!!

[pikie]
