Deer Horn Lodge 1981

Michael Finnie (L)

Our first time at the Cabonga Reservoir and Deer Horn Lodge, however, not for me. I spent a week the prior year canoe camping and fishing on Sterns Island on the big water of the Cabonga with the YMCA. In the picture above, we consolted Gaitan Roubeteill about where to fish. He said, "Out there!" and looked at us with disdain.  We came back with this that first day:

My first pike of the trip

Hanging the wash

Ice

Casting for pike between 3 mile and 5 mile bays

Michael Finnie and I trying to get the big one into the boat - it wouldn't
fit in the net and we had to tie it up with boat's painter
