So I took a week and went into the S****r L***e Wilderness for some for a 17 mile 4 pond brook trout fishing trip. This seasons goal was to catch a brook trout over 20". Not an easy task.
The trip started off slow at the first pond, huge pain even getting on the pond. Fished it one night and I took more pictures that I did casts. I didn't catch anything on this pond but did see the trout at the surface eating jaws style with their dorsal fin sticking out of the water. The next pond was more productive. Catching 5 brook trout ranging in size from 8" up to about 16". Didn't fish the pond really hard, relaxation got the best of me. I was on vacation after all.
After packing up and heading in another few miles I finally got to the namesake lake. I finally got close and bushwacked down to the lake shore and trolled the lake before setting up camp in the lean to. After a very short troll BOOM my first hit. The canoe pulled around and the drag screamed. Then bloop out came the hook. Total excitement then total let down. I know it was a monster. So on I went and repeat that again. No other action the rest of the day. The next day I would spend about 10 hours on the lake. Action had been slow. So I switched from the trusty wabbler to a spoon that I've had some luck with. That's when it happened the first fish on the lake was a 21" brook trout. The lake also produced a 17" and a 19".
Also was joined by the State Police. The last pond I didn't make it to fish but I'll be back there again. The fishing isn't the greatest in this area but there are some huge fish. Good luck getting in there though its a solid 8 miles to get to the lake and rugged.
