A picture is worth a thousand words......Today Show - Awesome!

• Sunday July 19, 2009.  Lake George was perfect this morning, very little wind, water temp. 69, a little overcast.  Fished with two pros who landed fish after fish along both the east and west shore.  Also landed one of the largest smallmouth bass this season.  This fish was fun on a fly rod!

• Thursday July 16, 2009.  Nice trip to the Blue Mtn. lake area, mostly sunny with just a few minutes of rain.  A few fish, nothing to brag about, beautiful area.
• Monday July 13, 2009.  Partly to mostly sunny, water temp is 70 degrees and so is the air.  No humidity and the lake is pretty quite and calm for July.  Hope you are fishing,  I'm painting the garage.........maybe tonight.
• Sunday July 12, 2009.  After last nights thunder & rain Lake George served up a perfect morning.  Very little wind, calm water, plus sun!  Nice fishing along the west shore south of Bolton Landing.  Still catching small mouth & largemouth bass along the shore.  Used a floating line all morning with bead head buggers. Fun.
• Saturday July 11, 2009.  WIND! out of the south 15 to 20 knots all day.  Fishing was good if you could stay out of the wind.
• Friday July 10, 2009.  Pea soup fog early this morning but the sun burned it off for clear blue skys.  Very little wind early then more from the south.  Fished the flats south of Bolton again with a few small fish and lots of casting practice with a variety of rods.  Perfect day to work on distance casting and technique.  The new Helios 9'6", 6 wt. was the favorite by far with both floating and sinking lines.  Great morning, get your gear and get on the water, the fishing is good!
• Thursday July 9, 2009.  Cloudy this morning with NO wind.  The southern basin was calm all morning.  We were able to fish everywhere, along the shore, in the middle, the flats south of Bolton, a super day.  The Mickey Finn and bead headed wooly buggers are still doiing the job with sinking lines.
• Tuesday July 6, 2009.  The rain continues to show up every day but it has not hampered the fishing.  A beautiful trip this morning with two aspiring flyfisher "women" starting in Paradise Bay and working north to Black Mountain Point. Lots of fun, Lake George at its best evern without sun. Gin clear water, no one in sight, and a couple small mouth bass of good size. 
• Sunday June 21 - Thursday the 25th, 2009.  WIND and lots of it.  A strong north wind blew in on sunday and has stayed thru wednesday.  Then thursday strong out of the south.  All trips went as planned and we managed to catch some pretty nice fish each day.  A challenge for fly casting but everyone was casting well and the everyone caught fish. 

The Mickey Finn Team

• Wednesday June 17, 2009.  Another nice day, south wind, air temp in the 70's, perfect fishing.
• Tuesday June 16, 2009.  Lake George is picture perfect.  Water temp 67 degrees, wind from the south.  Catch a (2) large pickrel tonight plus  the normal large & small mouth bass.  Fun evening.

• Friday June 12, 2009.  Lots of rain, rivers and lakes are rising.  Fished the Little River in VT, not effected too bad by the water & somewhat clear.  Nice Hatch towards dark.
• Sunday June 7, 2009.  Another good day on Lake George, water temp 61 degrees, no wind and overcast.  Warm weather.  Watched Tim Jones, managing editor from the Angling Report land fish after fish and cast to any corner regardless of distance.  Several small mouth 16" long and one 17" in the 3 lb range.  Another 30+ fish day, Lake George at its best.
• Saturday June 6, 2009.  Perfect day on Lake George, sun, warm temps, and no wind. Fished with a good friend and watched him land fish after fish along the east shore.  It was probably a 30+ fish day with both large & smallmouth bass.  Needless to say the fishing on Lake George has turned on.
• Thurday & Friday June 4 & 5 2009.  Quick trip to RI for striper fishing.  Camped at the Charleston Breachway.  Good fishing on thursday with 3 fish (small) and tough fishing on friday in wind and rain on the flats at Watch Hill.
• Wednesday June 3, 2009.  Beautiful morning on Lake George.  Sunny, very little wind, and no boat traffic. 
• Sunday May 31, 2009.  Schroon river is too high.  Tried fishing for a few hours with the gauge at 4.8.  The river is too fast & deep to  be very effective.  A few fly casters below the dam.  As the water recedes this week is should be back to normal.
• Friday & Saturday May 29 & 30, 2009.  Two days on the Battenkill.  The river is high from all of the rain over the last several days.  Friday a little tough to wade and the water is a little tea colored.  Saturday better, a little lower and clearer.   It should be in great shaper for Sunday and next week.
• Monday May 25, 2009.  Sunny and calm on Lake George with very little morning boat traffic. 
• Saturday & Sunday May 23 & 24, 2009.  A full house this weekend at the Orvis Fly Fishing School.  The new building at Orvis to house the Fly Fishing School is first class.  Saturday night got things off with a bang as one of the attendees landed a 20" brown trout on the Battenkill, his first fish on  fly rod.   
• Friday May 22, 2009.  All of a sudden the shore has been flooded with small and large mouth bass.  The fish must have moved in on thursday.  We fished the east shore today landing lots of fish and due to the clear water and sun angle spotted lots of fish looking to take up residence for the spawning season. 

• Tuesday May 19, 2009.  Sunny and clear today.  The morning started with cool temps but the turned warmer with lots of sunshine.  A stuborn SE wind forced us on the lee side of islands.  Slow fishing day, hi pressure, too much sun, too windy, cold water temp, not sure why we did not do better, the normal spots were not working, but a pretty nice to be on Lake George.
• Sunday May 17, 2009.  Big north wind 15+, and high waves, water temp is 52 degrees, sunny and clear.
• Thursday May 14, 2009.  Pouring rain with a big South wind, air temp 50 degrees, water temp 48 degrees.  NYS boat inspection today, legal for another season, boat goes in the water in the morning.
• Tuesday May 12, 2009.  Red eye home from Ketchikan.  Great trip on the "Crane" chasing steelhead in the Bradfield  Canal and Prince of Wales island.  Good fishing, food, nice weather, and lots of laughs.  Can't wait to go back.
• 
• Perfect night on the Crane after a great day sight casting for steelhead on Marten Creek, Denny hanging on to an other one.

• Thanks for a great season!  I check my email all winter so if you want to book a trip for 2009 please call or email me with your reservation.  Have a great winter!
• Friday August 29, 2008. Last report for a few weeks.  Leave for Alaska this weekend.  This mornings conditions were beautiful, calm water, no wind, and a little overcast.  Rain is in the forcast for later today, but then it sounds like the weekend will be mostly sunny. Ketchican AK weather has been holding in the 50's, with off and on showers (this is normal) and we are hoping for the sun to come out for this years trip. 
• Thursday August 28, 2008.  Three great days in Vermont with one quick trip back to Lake George for a trip.  The Battenkill is at an ideal level with cool water temp.  The wind on Lake George ended yesterday so it is ideal for casting.  Enjoy!
• Monday August 25, 2008.  Another stellar day.  No wind this morning with sun and low humidity.  The lake is beautiful.  Hope you are able to get here and take advantage of this great weather.
• Sunday August 24, 2008.  Great weather since thursday.  Sunny, and clear with low humidity.  Both saturday and today have seen south winds, strong at times.  Water temp is still 75 degrees at our dock, probably higher in the shallow bays. 
• Thursday August 21, 2008.  Feels like Fall this morning.  Cool start but the sun is warming things up.  No wind and calm water making great fishing conditions.  Looks like a great weekend is headed our way.  Enjoy.
• Wednesday August 20, 2008.  Well the Battenkill has gone up again, monday nights downpour raised the level so much that it was unfishable yesterday and today.  Hope it goes down as fast as it went up.  However, Lake George this morning is beautiful, no wind, sunny, cool and clear.  Water temp still at 75 degrees, great for fishing and swimming.  The forcast for the rest of the week is great!
• Monday August 18, 200.  Two days on the Battenkill and two more to go.  Water levels and flow are dramatically lower making for great wading and fishing.  It is a tough river to fish....and guide, the trout are wise to all the tricks.  So be quiet, use long leaders, and be patient.  The weather was great this morning, clear, no humidity, and very little wind.  If you have a chance make a trip to Battenkill and take advantage of the great conditions.
• Saturday August 16, 2008. A breezy start with wind from the north but by 9 am there was no wind and then changing to the south.  Clear morning with dry air.  Water temp is still hanging in there at 75 degrees. 
• Friday August 15, 2008.  TGIF even though we had a cloudy start with a little wind from the north.  Fish are down deeper, sinking lines are the key.  Water temp is 75 degrees.  This evening is clear with a little north wind. 
• Tuesday August 12, 2008.  Weather continues to be hard to predict.  The Battenkill is still unfishable and it continues to rain in souther Vermont.  Nice trip today on the Equinox Pond, beautiful spot and loaded with Rainbows.  Sinking lines with olive wooly buggers seemed to be the right combination.  Lake George had a stiff North wind to start the day but by days end a spectacular sunset and calm conditions.  Everyone is raving about how good the bass fishing is, it has been a super summer.  If you have some time get in a trip before the summer is over.....just do it!
• Friday August 8, 2008.  Off & on rain, but not much wind this morning.  A quick trip to the Battenkill yesterday afternoon.   Too fast & too high to fish.....trip cancelled.  The rain is great for the fish but raises havoc with the trip schedule.  Water temp on the Battenkill was in the low 60's.  This famed trout stream should fish great as soon as the water gets lower.
• Thursday August 7, 2008.  Timing is everything and the trip this morning fell into the perfect time slot.  Sunny and very little wind.  We could cast anywhere.  Both the olive bead head and Mickey Finn worked this morning for smallmouth bass.  By noon is has clouded over and the fireworks have started with lightning everywhere.  Hoping is will clear up for this evening.  Water temp holding @ 75 degrees.
• Wednesday August 6, 2008.  Poured last night and early this morning.  The weather forcast for the rest of the day is rain this morning with a chance of clearing this afternoon and decent weather tonight.  Wind out of the south this morning around 5 knots.  The fish could care less so don't let this weather prevent you from getting on the water.
• Tuesday August 5, 2008.  The past two mornings have been beautiful.  Clear, warm, and no wind, perfect for casting a fly rod.  We fished the open lake this morning, taking advantage of the calm conditions.  Water temp is holding at 75 degrees.  Over the rocky shoals the water was gin clear.  The olive bead head wooly bugger is working well and also caught a few fish on poppers.  Enjoy the great weather.
• Sunday August 3, 2008.  A few days with no wind and overcast skies with rain off and on.  Not great for the beach but great for fishing.  This morning is perfect with little boat traffic, no wind, and clear water.  Water temp is 75 degrees.
• Thursday July 31, 2008.  A great start to another nice day.  No wind this morning, calm water, and a little overcast.  I suspect the clouds will burn off as the sun gets higher.  Water still high from last weeks rain with the temp at 74 degrees.  Lots of people fishing on the Lake last night.
• Wednesday July 30, 2008.  Last night was beautiful, wind out of the north but the fishing was great.  Today looks like another winner (rain possibly later) with a clear start and no wind.  Enjoy a great day.
• Tuesday July 29, 2008.  Quick trip to the Schroon River yesterday afternoon, very high, too high to wade.  The NOAA gauge shows it holding steady at this level for a few more days, water temp was 70 degrees at the canoe take out.  Lake George is also still very high but the fish could care less and the Lake continues to fish well.  Clear start to the day on the Lake  but starting to get overcast.  Very little wind.  Water temp. is 74 degrees.
• Monday 28, 2008.  The south wind continues to blow but other than wind the weather is very nice on Lake George.  Possible thunder storms this afternoon, but the morning trip got off without a hitch.  A few fish,  mainly on bead headed wooly buggers.  Olive seems to be the color of choice the last few days.  Enjoy the day!.
• Sunday July 27, 2008.  Stiff wind out of the SE at 10+ knots.  We looked for shelter all morning to stay out of the wind or kept it to our backs.  Nice trip this morning into Northwest Bay and the Narrows.  Hooked a nice large mouth bass in the Narrows but lost him just as he got close to the boat.  Seems like we are headed for a period of good weather in the morning with possible thunderstorms in the afternoon.  Lake level is still very high for mid-summer with water temp. at 74 degrees. 
• Saturday July 26, 2008.  Clear, sunny, and very little wind.  Wind out of the south, but not strong enough to hamper casting.  Weather looks perfect for the whole day.  Water is still very high after the heavy rain wednesday and thursday and water temp. at the end of the dock is 73 degrees.  Enjoy the day!
• Friday July 25, 2008.  The rain is outtahere and the weather is great.  Calm morning near Lake George Village but windy further up the lake.  Wind out of the south, water level way up from all the rain the last two days and water temp holding at 74 degrees.  Nice trip this morning with plenty of fish, mostly small mouth but one pickrel (3rd one this season) that was exciting.  Clear and sunny - a perfect morning to be on Lake George with a fly rod.
• Thursday July 24, 2008.  The rain, thunder, and lightning continue.  This mornings trip rescheduled due to bad weather.  The water level on Lake George has gone up 7" at my dock since this storm started.  Lake temp is holdiing at 74 degrees.  The water level will continue to rise as the runoff continues off the mountains.  Fridays forcast shows clearing weather so hopefully we will be back in action after this system moves out later today.  The Schroon River gage is rising like an elevator, we needed more water but not all at once.  Depending on the water clarity, by the weekend there could be some good mid-summer streamer fishing.  Get ready for a great weekend.
• Wednesday July 23, 2008.  Absolute downpour this morning with lots of lightning and thunder thrown in.  Glad I am not on the water.  This storm will really help the local stream levels and generally a storm like this kick starts the Lake George fishing. Last night was beautiful, drier air with temps in the low 60's.  Time to bail the boat.
• Tuesday July 22, 2008.  A little overcast but no wind with more sun as the morning progressed.  Beautiful early ride to fish from Silver Bay this morning.  Watched fish jump all the way up the lake and they continued to dance while we started fish.  The guide (me) could not come up with the right formula for attracting them on the surface and when we tried to move the boat towards them they would move just out of reach.  The sinking line with a wooly bugger finally was the fly that caught fish.  Great morning to be on the lake, especially at the north end of the Lake.
• Monday July 21, 2008.  Wind out of the NW at 10-15 knots, overcast, cooler, and less humid.  Lots of rain yesterday and last night but the water temp seems to be holding at 74 degrees.  Usually, a NW wind will blow for 3 days so we may be in for a few days with dryer air and less humidity.  Fishing was great yesterday.  Looking forward to tuesday's trip at the north end of the Lake.
• Sunday July 20, 2008.  Overcast and dead calm and a low baramoter this morning.  Not a great day for the beach but super for fishing.  We caught everything but a large mouth. Rain started late morning and seems like it will continue through the day. 
• Saturday July 19, 2008.  The good weather continues, a little humid but the breeze on the Lake has kept it comfortable.  Forcasts  are for a few thunderstorms, and we have had a good one this afternoon but it was followed by clear and sunny skies.  Water is in the low 70's.  Best fishing is early on the weekend, the lake is too busy and rough from boat wakes in the afternoon.  Look for 5 mph zones where the traffic is less and water calm.  Enjoy this great weather and call us if you want to book a trip.
• Thursday July 17, 2008.  Another beautiful summer day.  Spent the day at Orvis working at the fly fishing school.  If you ever have the oppurtunity take the Orvis Fly Fishing School jump at the chance.  Great course covering all the aspects of the sport with plenty of time for casting practice, it will truly jump start your fly-fishing skills. The video tape analysis of your cast is worth the whole course (www.orvis.com).  Weather forcast is for more good weather on Lake George, get here and get fish'in.
• Wednesday 16, 2008. Clear sunny start this morning with no wind.  Great fishing morning.  The afternoon has brought a few showers with cloulds building.  The evening is forcast to have more clouds than sun with temps in the mid 80's.  Some wind from the SW.
• Tuesday July 15, 2008.  Rain all Sunday night has brought the Schroon up a foot with the gage forcast showing it will stay there for a few days.  Some mid summer fly fishing on this gem would be a good bet.  The Lake is sunny and clear this morning with lots of fishing boats out eary taking advantage of this great day.  The early morning fishing has gotten us several good wildlifte sightings lately, watched a fawn swim form Elizabeth Island to shore the other morning and two loons out fish the pants off us yesterday morning.  Summer is in full gear with this great weather, and the fishing is super.  Get here and start working that cast.
• Sunday July, 13, 2008.  Overcast with a little rain this morning, wind out of the southeast at 5-10 knots.  Temp. is cool, water temp. is in the low 70's depending on where you are on the lake.  Fished in the narrows last night and the largemouth fishing was good along (rocky) shore and over shoals.  Beautiful night on the lake with 1/2 moon and lots of stars.
• Friday July 11, 2008.   Partly cloudy start with a little wind, but last night was a classic summer night on Lake George.  Perfect sunset, and clear sky.  Great fishing over the rocks watching the sun go down.  Poppers are working where you can get out of the wind, but the mickey finn with a floating or sinking line continues to be the fly of choice. 
• Thursday July 10, 2008.  Sunny, clear, and calm this morning.  The last two days have been humid and hot with a strong southwest wind.  Fishing is solid with more smallmouth being caught than largemouth.  Water temp is 72 degrees and the water is clear.  The mickey finn is working well with and intermediate sinking line.  The clients we have had recently are all enjoying the new Sage Bass Rod (7'11") with a clear 10 wgt intermediate sinking line.
• Monday July 7, 2008, Hazy this morning with wind out of the south, but the haze should burn off at the morning moves on.  Should be another day in paradise, saturday and sunday where great days on the Lake.  Clear and sunny, finally summer has arrived to the north country.  Last night was clear with a nice sunset, the wind stronger than we would like for perfect casting conditions but managable, enjoy the week the long range forcast looks good.
• Friday July 4, 2008.  Clear, Sunny, and calm.  Fishing this morning in NW Bay.  Jack ended up with two of these big Large Mouth Bass, lots of fun.  Happy 4th of July!

Wednesday July 2, 2008.  Flat water, no wind, clear sky, gin clear water, Lake George at its best.  Perfect for casting a fly rod.  The fish are here waiting for ya, pack up the car and get here.

• Monday June 30, 2008.  Weather......yikes!  Schedule, reshedule, dodge the thunderheads.  Many thanks to my two repeat clients from yesterday we managed to find a time slot where we only encounted a little rain, a little wind, and a lot of sun.  Two guys that have changed from anglers who thought they might like to try fly-fishing to fly fisherman.  Their casts are straighter, farther, and loops tighter, great progress, and great guys, and one nice largemouth bass on top of it all.  Weather forcast looks better this week, call us and book a trip!
• Saturday June 28, 2008.  Second morning of pea soup fog and very little visibility on Lake George.  Heavy rain with thunder and lightning late yesterday afternoon and more predicted for later today.  The good news is the fish don't seem to mind and the bass fishing continues to be great.  It is a free fishing weekend in NYS so take advantage of it if you haven't bough a license but want to catch some fish!
• Wednesday June 25, 2008.  Last night and this morning have been beautiful.  No one on Lake George this morning and no wind, perfect fly casting conditions.  The resident Large Mouth are still in close to shore so we are casting with floating lines and streamers tied with lots of weight.  Last night over the rocks poppers were working.  Enjoy this great weather!  Just received the new Sage Large Mouth Bass Rod (Length 7'11").  It casts the 330 grain fly line (provided with the rod) beautifully.  The rod flex of this new model combined with the 330 grain line will make this model very popular with anglers that like to fish for bass, and like to throw long casts with tight loops.

• Monday June 23, 2008.  A bad weather day.  This morning we were hit with heavy rain & lightning, canceling the trip.  This evening looks the same with predictions of more high winds, rain, and thunder.  In between it has been sunny....go figure.
• Sunday June 22, 2008.  A little sun this morning, no wind, and calm water, perfect fishing on Lake George.  Rain predicted for later this afternoon.  Water temp 68 degrees.   Heavy rain yesterday afternoon has brought up the level on the Schroon.  Enjoy the day.
• Saturday June 21, 2008. A trip last night and this morning to the Battenkill.  Level is perfect with water temp. at 59 degrees.  A tough river to fish with only one brook trout yesterday, and two hook ups without a fish this morning.  The weather was beautiful.  Lake George has turned stormy this afternoon with heavy bursts of rain and a few cracks of thunder.  But the bass fishing on the Lake continues to be outstanding.
• Friday June 20, 2008.  TGIF.  A cloudy start, but no wind.  Last night we had a great trip with lots of fish and a great sunset.  Poppers and streamers both worked well. Should be a great weekend to be on the river or the lake.
• Thursday June 19, 2008.  Overcast today with temps in the mid 60's.  Slight wind on and off out of the south.  However, this afternoon it has died down and should be a perfect for tonight's trip.  According to NOAA the water temp in Warner Bay is 70 degrees. 

Wednesday June 18, 2008. Lake George water temp at 69 degrees at the end of the dock.  Overcast with a little rain this afternoon with wind out of the south.

Monomoy Flatts off Cape Cod, great

   Fun on a fly rod!

• Monday & Tuesday June 16 & 17 2008.  Monomoy Flatts on the Cape.  A little wind from the SW but good striper fishing.  Tuesday was all sun with clear water for good sight casting but most of the fish came from blind casts just off the beach and
• Sunday June 15, 2008.  Happy Father's Day!   Gone fishin'.
• Saturday June 14, 2008.  This morning was overcast with a slight SE wind.  We had fish rising while practicing the fly cast with yarn and then continuing to go after dry flys.  The lake was not crowded and the fishing continues to be good for both small & largemouth bass.
• Friday June 13, 2008.  TGIF.  Lake George is perfect this morning, clear sky, no clouds, no humidity, and the water ......as always is clear to 20 ft. plus depending on where the sun is.  Get here and get fishin'.
• Thursday June 12, 2008.  After the rain and lightning storms Tuesday night the rivers have come up and water has cooled off a bit.  The Battenkill yesterday was a little tea colored in VT but at a nice level.  One nice rainbow at the Equinox Pond.  Lake George has a stiff NW wind this morning with clear air and and cooler temps, water temp is 63 degrees.
• Tuesday June 10, 2008, Still hot but a nice breeze from the south that keeps fishing cool on the water.  Last night was super, lots of small mouth bass on both streamers and poppers over the rocks in shallow water.  We finished at 9pm after fishing with a great sunset.  Tonights trip should be the same.

• 6/10/08  Great sunset, and good fishing until 9 o'clock.

• Saturday June 7, 2008, This morning started out hazy and has just got warmer, water temp in Lake George has gotten to 60 degrees but still chilly in spite of the 90 degree day.  Fishing is great with bass along the shore.  Have a great day!
• Thursday June 5, 2008, Today Lake George is overcast, air temp of 70 degrees, and dead calm.  Perfect day to fish the lake.  The only thing you hear today is the rumble of thousands of motorcycles in town for Americade.  This huge event brings thousands to Lake George every June, a great way to get the summer started.
• Tuesday June 3, 2008, Last night was terrific.  In one hour we caught both large and small mouth bass - one after the other.  Great sun set and calm weather.  Lake George fishing at its best!   Water is crystal clear and 59 degrees.
• Monday June 2, 2008, It is catch up day.... the end of last week made a trip to the Lamoille River in VT.  Beautiful clear water, perfect level of wading and some nice rainbows.  Then back to Lake George, weather shifted all weekend from wind to rain to sun. The fishing on the Lake continues to be strong. Water temp @ 59 degrees.  Sunday on the Battenkill with the Fishing School and one first time fly fishman caught two brook trout, not a bad start!
