Come join us for a day of kayak fishing, fellowship, and food on Canadice Lake on Saturday, 12 May 2012. We will launch from the south car top boat launch at Canadice Lake at 9am. Heroes on the Water supporters and volunteers are invited to come fish for fun, but there will also be a Heroes on the Water benefit kayak fishing tournament hosted by the RIT College Bass Club (details will be provided later, but plan on registration starting at 8am). After fishing, we will have a free hamburger/hot dog cookout at the Shelter House in the park at the North end of Hemlock Lake starting at 1pm. We plan to take some veterans along with us to fish as our honored guests, so come out to lend your support and show your appreciation for these heroes!

If you’ve never fished Canadice Lake before, you are in for a treat. It is one of the more pristine and undeveloped of all of the Finger Lakes – it is a beautiful place to paddle and fish! There are both largemouth and smallmouth bass, lake trout, rainbow trout, and brown trout, along with pickerel and sunfish species to target. Also, if you plan to attend, please let us know so we can get a general idea about our head count.
