The fishing in the pond has been excellent and I’m always troubled when some clients have a difficult time locating fish.  I have often thought of offering guide service on the pond but wouldn’t really have the time or know what to charge.  We have some clients who have been fishing the pond for years that always seem to do well year after year.  We recently developed a map of the pond that reflects the weedbeds and shoreline.  We did this in response to some people coming to fish the pond for the first time and not enjoying the great fishing the pond has to offer.  We have received some very positive feedback about the map from new clients and how much it helped them to locate quality fish.  Please ask for a copy of the map when you come to the lodge even if you are a fishing pro or a rookie.  It can only help you to locate fish and increase your opportunity to catch them.  We do encourage “Catch and Release” in the pond to help keep the quality of fishing at a high level. 

The month of August can be a tough month for fishing in Long Pond.  The constant heat slowly raises the water temperature of the pond and makes fishing difficult.  The fish head for the deeper and thicker weedbeds hoping to locate cooler water and water with more oxygen in it.  We are closed for the month of August because the lodge is not air conditioned and the fishing is not up to our high standards.  The cooler weather of September certainly helps with the fishing and the lodge is much more comfortable to stay at.  Give some thought to booking your fall trip to fish Long Pond well in advance because the weekends really fill up quickly once summer is over. 

 Something to think about* 

*If you used another guide service other than Adirondack-Champlain Guide Service you probably paid too much.  We offer quality fishing; qualified guides and our prices are the best around.  There are no strangers here only friends who have not met.
