muskymatt Posted May 11, 2015 Report Posted May 11, 2015 Did the trek into the Eastern townships again this past weekend to visit my buddies father in-laws private lake and lodge. WOW.....what a fantastic time (beer). Headed up Saturday morning and arrived around noon. No motors allowed so it was oars and paddles (beer) on this probably 3 sq-mile lake. I opted for a Showbee 6wt with a wt forward floating line and a 4.5lb tippet. I moved back and forth between a Mickey finn and another yellow red and black fly that the name escapes me at this time, while others preferred the spinning outfits. While they did catch a bit more fish, the fun factor was explosive on the fly rod. There was about 35 fish caught between me and my bud over the 2 days. (beer) Most were returned to the water but some were pretty tasty. The lodge has a history going back almost 150 years and listening to some of the historians was as good as fishing itself. The lodge was a frozen in time museum of the past. It was awesome (beer) And of course with ice of last Wednesday, it was a perfect time for a dip (beer) I have a good batch soaking right now that will hit the smoker tomorrow! (beer) What a great trip!
misfish Posted May 11, 2015 Report Posted May 11, 2015 A nice hidden gem you had offered up Matt. As for the dip,I,ll wait a few weeks.LOL Thanks for sharing.

muskymatt Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) One of the guys had a drone, it was awesome! Got some amazing pics with it. Watched it go almost out of sight straight up from us then zoom in at an amazing pace. Here's the gang on the dock! Edited May 11, 2015 by muskymatt

Actually, I was a lone Sens fan in a sea of Habs fans. I took a bit of ribbing! lol The lake was about a mile long, maybe 1.3 max. and about the same width.
muskymatt Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Posted May 12, 2015 Can a closet Leaf fan come with you the next time if I promise to seek professional help?? Too funny!
muskymatt Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Posted May 12, 2015 Into the smoker you go little candy! Gonna be yummy!
Ven-Pisc-ator Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Cool. Fly fishing is the best, especially when you get into good size fish. I use my 4-5 wt with 9ft tippets for this kind of fishing.
