Welcome to the Adirondack-Champlain Guide Service
The Long Pond Lodge Update - June 2008

Sundog or reverse rainbow on Lake Champlain |
I was glad to
see the month of May come to end and hoped that the wind would stop blowing so
hard in June. We had more days in May with high winds than I can remember in a
very long time. We enjoyed much better weather in June and never actually got
blown off Lake Champlain to the point where had to go to some one of the
interior Adirondack lakes to fish. We had just enough wind that the direction
and velocity didn’t stop us from getting to those smallmouth “hot” spots where
we always find smallmouth bass at this time of the year. We did have a few days
when the blowing of the wind caused big waves which churned up the water and
caused a very erratic bite. One day we would have a banner day with good
numbers of quality fish, as our pictures reflect, the next day it was hunt and
peck with a great deal of casting looking for some fish. We had a few days when
we would spend the morning fishing for smallmouth and then decided to fish for
largemouth in the protected bays on the New York side of the lake in the
afternoon. The largemouth bass and pike were more cooperative and were found in
much shallower water close to weeds that were just starting to grow. There were
some real brutes in the 5 pound and over class caught during the month on Texas
rigged Stik-O’s. The pike bite was really hot and were caught on flukes, X-Raps
and other jerkbaits. The green tube jig is still catching more smallmouth than
any other lure or color. It proves itself year after year and is still # 1. Read
more.
Catch of the Month
14 year old Chris Zampini from Branchburg, NJ had a fishing trip that we all
dream about and hope will happen. He caught some real quality largemouth while
fishing in Long Pond during the rain and after supper one evening with his dad.
(Check out the pictures) Then he went out on Lake Champlain and caught some
real large smallmouth including one that weighed 4 ½ pounds. He did all this
with the help of his dad, John, who brought him to the lodge. We highlighted
Bob Johnston our 92 year old fishing guru last month and this month 14 year old
Chris Zampini is highlighted. It just shows fishing is for all ages both young
and older.
The Guide Service
_small1.jpg) 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.
