Saranac Lake Adventure September 1999 This was the first year I went with Jon. We had good weather as I recall and Jon caught a good pike. We had a whole troop of boy scouts sharing the island with us. There were tents all over the island. The scout leaders really had their hands full. It was interesting watching them try to retrieve a canoe from the lake that they left alone as it began to drift away. Jon caught this brute in the mouth of a creek in heavy weeds on a red/white spoon if my memory serves me. We forgot the net, it was quite a chore getting this guy on board.
