Welcome to the Adirondack-Champlain Guide Service
 Newsletter - Winter
2009 Edition
 |
|
Long Pond Frozen |
Well Christmas is now only a fading memory and the New Year is
upon us. It seems as we get older time goes by so fast doesn’t it? I hope you are
all well, happy and “EMPLOYED.” Now-a-days almost every discussion leads to
uncertainty, except, fishing. You can always look ahead to great fishing with
us! As of this writing we have plenty of ice for ice fishing. Our lake, LONG
POND and the other inland lakes had ice way before Thanksgiving. Even though
this fall was the warmest on record, it got cold real fast. I sincerely hope
Santa Claus was overly generous and took it upon himself to bring you all that
new fishing equipment you so desperately “needed”. I know my own personal order
to Bass Pro Shops will make up for any shortfalls that may have occurred in that
area. I hope a gift certificate from Adirondack-Champlain Guide Service was one
of the items you received. They make great birthday gifts, anniversary gifts or
for any special occasion like a graduation or wedding gift. I hope one of your
New Years resolutions is to come north and fish with us this year. I know you
have been putting it off for years but 2009 should be the year you actually do
it. Hey, I’m not getting any younger myself and this will be our 31st
year of providing the finest fishing in the Northeast for trophy smallmouth
bass. The largemouth and pike fishing is also top of the line and we also fish
for gar, fresh water drum, bowfin, lake trout and salmon.

The Long Pond Lodge Update - November 2008
Lake Champlain fishing in the fall can be challenging and certainly rewarding
that is why so many of our clients return year after year in the fall. The
potential opportunity to catch a really “big” fish is always there. (Notice
Craig Jordan’s 6 pound 8 ounce smallmouth in this update) Once the
lake water temperature starts it’s slow, steady decline into the low 60 degree
range the fish go on a constant feed and move shallow to find food. The
fish are feeding on a wide variety of forage including crawfish, smelt, perch
and now alewives. Tube lures, dropshotting and jerkbaits are the lures
that seem to produce the best during this time frame. The weather can
always have a negative impact on fishing as October and November can be windy
months.

The Guide Service
 The Adirondack-Champlain
Guide Service specializes in Lake Champlain fishing for smallmouth bass
in the trophy category. We
have been guiding clients
for over
25 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. Also visit our
About Us page to learn more about the Guide Service. We are
offering some great Guide
Service Rates this year.
The
Long Pond Lodge
 The 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.
