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!

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!

I just can't believe you found that many Sens fans to go fishing with..... :whistling:

Looks like a great outing Matt... how long is the lake?? :dunno:

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.
