Fall

Hi Everyone,

HOW'S YOUR SUMMER GOING?!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT OURS WAS HOTTER IN JUNE THEN IT WAS IN JULY AND AUGUST... MIND YOU, IT WAS STILL HOT , BUT WITH MUCH LESS HUMIDITY THAN JUNE' WE HAD RECORD RAINS THIS PAST SPRING AND EARLY SUMMER AND NOW WE'VE HARDLY HAD A DROP SINCE, AND NOW WE ARE IN A MAJOR DROUGHT!! BUT STILL, IN COMPARISON, LOOKING AT THE REST OF THE COUNTRY, WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD IT SO BAD... SURPRISINGLY THE LAKE TROUT AND SALMON FISHING WAS "GREAT" WE CAUGHT MANY LAKERS IN THE 10LB RANGE AND SOME NICE LANDLOCKED SALMON 5LBS PLUS,AND "IN QUANTITIES" WE DIDN'T CATCH AS MANY, BUT WE GOT SOME REALLY NICE SMALL MOUTHS ALSO!! HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF THOSE NICE FISH OUR GUYS CAUGHT THIS PAST MONTH. EVEN ON OUR LAKE "LONG POND" WE'VE HAD SOME OF THE BEST SUMMER FISHING EVER. LOTS OF FISH.

 

BOOKING FOR FALL

AS I'VE MENTIONED IN MY FALL UPDATES, FOR THE PAST "47 YEARS" (CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?) FALL IS THE VERY BEST TIME OF THE YEAR FOR THE BIGGEST FISH IN ALMOST ALL SPECIES. THOSE LODGE RECORDS I MENTIONED IN OUR LAST UPDATE WERE ALL CAUGHT IN THE FALL. AS THE WATERS GET COOLER THE FISH NATURALLY FEED FOR THE LONG WINTER AHEAD AND PUT ON A LOT OF WEIGHT. IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS OUR FALL BASS AND PIKE FISHING HAS STARTED LATE SEPTEMBER AND WENT RIGHT THRU EARLY NOVEMBER. FOR MANY YEARS IT STARTED IN LATE AUGUST AND WE WENT TILL MID OCTOBER. THE SURFACE AND SHORELINE FISHING FOR OUR LAKE TROUT AND SALMON NOW STARTS MID OCTOBER THRU NOVEMBER, WHICH USE TO BE EARLY OCTOBER THRU MID NOVEMBER? SO, IN OUR WORLD, THE CLIMATE IS CHANGING, NO DOUBT?!! ANYWAY THESE ARE SOME OF THE PHOTOS OF OUR CATCHES FROM LAST FALL

 

IF ANY OF YOU GUYS WANT TO COME UP TO FISH WITH US, WHAT I'VE ALREADY MENTIONED, SHOULD GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHEN TO BOOK. ALSO IF YOU ARE COMING, GIVE US A CALL A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL AND LET YOU KNOW LURES THE FISH ARE HITTING ON AT THAT TIME. IF YOU CAN'T FIND THEM, WE HAVE THEM IN OUR TACKLE SHOP AT THE LODGE. PERSONALLY, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE COOLER WEATHER TO ARRIVE!! I AM"NOT" A REAL HOT WEATHER PERSON. WELL GUYS, THE WATERS ARE GETTING COOLER, TIME TO GO FISHING!!! LAST GREAT FISHING BEFORE THAT LONG WINTER AHEAD. BYE FOR NOW. HOPE SO SEE YOU SOON

Pete

The Guide Service

ACGS Boat on Lake Champlain

Adirondack-Champlain Guide Service specializes in Lake Champlain fishing for smallmouth bass in the trophy category. We have been guiding clients for over 36 years working out of our Lodge on Long Pond, located in Willsboro, NY. Our extensive knowledge of Adirondack fishing is unsurpassed, combined with our intimate knowledge of Lake Champlain has made us the number one guide service in the Northeast. Fishing in the Adirondack inland lakes is another service we provide and excel at. Adirondack fishing can be challenging and very rewarding plus you’re surrounded by so much natural splendor.

The Long Pond Lodge

TLodge_Picture_small.jpghe 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 about the guide service or our fishing packages.
