Chemo

Hunter, Zach and I took to Chemo on the only sunny day so far (July 1). The landing (private) off the Getchell Road is closed, so we went to the private landing on the Scott Point Road. The water is really high, above docks and covering islands. No perch, the smallest bass known (6 inches) and one pickeral 21 inches which was given to our neighbor for a chowder. Fish were hitting Vibrax and gold mepps #3.

King and Rift

The famous thropy trout waters of King and Rift in Great Pond are not really producing any fish. These waters are restricted to one trout over 18 inches in length. I don't think anyone told the Loons about this law. We fished hard, just to get away from the Loons, who were swallowing all the fish they could find. We did meet Mike, tending a bait trap, preparing to fish Alligator later this week. I am sorry, but I still feel that kids under 16 should be allowed to fish by whatever method they choose. Hard to take kids fishing for the day and tell them they must troll or fly fish.

Hopkins

After the return from Chamberlain we set out to fish Hopkins. Us and the Loons, seems they liked to follow us everywhere - whats that new word. Floating Coyotes. Togue we found in 45' of water. Zach kept a 23 inch fish which he promptly gave to the old fella next door. Zach as always had to check the fish to see what it was feasting on, only to find a piece of line and #8 grown into its stomach for most likely last winter.

Chamberlain

Well the family trip of 57 straight years (O'connor) has come to a close for another year. A week at High Bank on Telos with family and friends. It rained for the week solid, but we still had a great time and the kids stayed busy with some kayaking around the lake. Fishing was slow, with many short togue. I did get the chance to talk with folks staying on Chamberlain near Crows Nest. They had some nice trout. So for another year the fist will have a rest. This years crew included the old man O'Connor, Sean, Mya, Brent, Eric, Cory, Zach, Brooke and myself
