Saranac River

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!

The only catch of the day, a new species, well if it counts 😬. Casted a jerkbait off and lost a giant pike, oh well I’ll get em next time.

Caught my biggest brown out of the Saranac so far, a beautiful 15 incher that ate my little z-man swimbait. Two other species of fish were hungry today too! Also, what’s with brown trout being labeled as Sea Trout on here?
