The US rates Champlain as one of the top 10 bass waters in the country. It's a great multi species lake. It looks like you all had a really good time there. Thanks for the report and pics of young'ns smiling ear to ear. That chain ain't too shabby either as the record is around 8lbs. They really are a beautiful fish.....smaller than a pike but stockier. Thanks again.
Splitting hairs here but it sounds bizarre to call something a "world record" when muskies are only present in parts of two provinces and a handful of states.
I'd still go to Luremaking.com..... they're not far away from you. Deal online with them. They really know what they're doing. The service is fantastic. Very friendly and explain everything. Give me a shout if you need anything in particular.
Excellent article! This should be a "must save" for anyone doing fly ins or in fact anyone out for a few days or more whether it's a fly in or not. Also, thank you for the acknowledgement at the end. Much appreciated.
Pinch the barbs down on his hooks till he gets the hang of it. And yes give him the attention he will need.
BTW, if I had a 24 year old girlfriend, I wouldn't care if she could cast or not,.
Great report, Brian. Glad you all had such a good time. I will be up there Saturday and hope to do half as well as you did. There will also be a few other OFCers there...we'll be encouraging each other.
Looking at the part now. I wouldn't worry about it. At least you got one screw out of her. If it's that tight I wouldn't fat finger it either...get a friend with small hands to do it next time.
