2 really… First off, we had our largest event so far at Hemlock Lake this weekend, with a total of 9 boats in the water. A special thanks to everyone who came. The fishing was a little off that day, and the cotton wood was jamming everyones guides and reels pretty frequently.
But, we had a lot of fun, a few laughs, and a few bass here and there. And we were kayaking, which is always a plus.
Secondly, I’m happy to announce that our “membership” has grown to 25. It’s a sport on the grow, and I’m hoping we will be excellent stewards while we are together, and while we’re alone.
Big thanks, all. Looking forward to seeing you on the water!
And, be sure to sign up for the mailing list. It’s free, it’s fun, and you don’t even need to own a kayak! Click here!
Fishing among friends on Hemlock Lake.
I fly-fish Canadice and Hemlock lakes frequently from canoe and motor boat. I'm considering getting a kayak. Does your membership have any recommendations regarding specifications or models of kayak that are well suited to fishing these larger bodies of water?
Chris: Sorry I missed this question.
I hate answers like “it depends”, but it depends :) If you were only going to fish big water, I would suggest at least a 14 foot kayak. However, i have fished small streams and Lake Ontario from a 12' Native Manta Ray.
Canadice and Hemlock are both very manageable from a 12' footer. I would definitely suggest a sit on top model over a sit in model for fishing. Just so much easier to keep stuff in arms reach, and they are very, very stable.
