ACGS - Quality Fishing, with Quality People
LPL Update - July 2018
Spring??
Hi Guys:
Well, I guess SPRING is over!!?? Not to much to it anymore, very short. Looks like we just have three seasons now.
Six days of that extreme heat brought Lake Champlain's water temperature up almost ten degrees. I'm sure most Bass and Pike have moved to the deeper waters following the bait. Even though we had a short spring, the fishermen did very well on Bass and Pike. Here are their photos from just the past couple of weeks.

SUMMER
Starting now and right thru September our Bass and Pike fishing will be way off shore on the deep reefs, rock piles and deep weed beds. Lures to use are Jigs, swim baits, blade baits, drop shot and deep suspended baits. Summer fishing for Bass and Pike is not as consistent as it is in spring and fall, BUT, we do catch some nice ones!!
TROUT AND SALMON
On the other hand..our deep water trolling for Lake Trout and Salmon is extremely good. At this time of year, besides trolling, we also deep water jig for them, which is a blast, and It is getting better and better every year. We are catching many Lake Trout and Salmon well over 10 pounds. Here are some Lake Trout and Salmon photos from last summer.

LONG POND
Long Pond has Bass, Pike, Perch and Crappie. Most of the fishing in the summer is restricted to the early morning and in the evening hours, as it is in most places in the country. But there is a lot of great top water fishing on the pond during the summer months.

Well guess, I guess that it is for now, next update will be "FALL" "WOW". Can you believe it? The year is going fast! If I don't see you this summer, maybe I'll see ya for some fall fishing. Remember, October and November are two of the best fishing months of the year.
Bye for now.
he Lodge provides a vast array of fishing packages and can accommodate up to 18 people who come to fish. We provide meals and lodging packages, guide service only packages and full service packages where we combine all our services. We have support from 14 local guides who work with us to provide the best in service and knowledge. Long Pond, which is located directly behind our Lodge, is an excellent Adirondack Park fishery. It contains quality large and smallmouth bass, northern pike and a good mixture of large panfish. Rowboats are provided, free of charge, on all Lodge fishing packages. The fishing packages we offer for the pond do not include the guide service. This is a great way to reduce your overall expenses and still enjoy a great fishing opportunity. We do provide a detailed map that reflects all the hotspots and weedbeds. We also provide various ice fishing packages during the long winter on Long Pond. Learn more
