Plattsburgh, New York

Had some fun with the fly rod today and landed a new species (on fly)! Got two little Atlantic Salmon, a Brown Trout, and tons of Fallfish on my 3 weight. I also managed to hook into a really nice salmon, but he unfortunately came off after a short battle.

Decided to break in the new waders this afternoon and target some river pike. Landed this solid 26 incher and his little cousin. Got a couple nice yellow perch and a fallfish as well. Snagged my favorite lure on a submerged tree that was just out of reach, and I successfully unscrewed the reel seat and slid my rod down the line to retrieve it. Only the second time I’ve ever attempted that trick, and I’m 2 for 2!
