Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} 1000 Islands?

I've been up in Kingston for the past two weeks fishing the lake where the family cottage sits.  Weather has been cold with rain and wind most of the time. Next week should be sunny and warmer. 

I've been spin casting with a Ned rig and yellow shallow crank bait with good luck in 4-8' of cool water. 

I haven't fished the St. Lawrence but see boats in the coves. 

There are some nice lakes that dont get much weekday pressure all around. The South Frontenac Rental Center south of Verona on Hwy 38 has a bunch of non-fly fishing gear as does Canadian Tire in Kingston on Gardiners Road. They should be able to give you some good gouge.

PS. The Pulaski River is 90 minutes away on 81. That is the place to fly fish for trout and salmon.

Headed to 1000 Islands for the first time in the second week of September. Although not a fishing trip per se, I hope to get out a time or two for a little kayak fishing for smallmouth.

I'm assuming the standard flies/lures will work, in the standard places -- rocky points, dropoffs, islands, current breaks, etc. Though if they're still hanging in deep water then I might have some trouble with the fly rod.

I anyone has any suggestions -- resources, information, experience -- I'd be most appreciative. I'm not looking for a guide, however. (Not this year, anyway.)

I'll be near Lansdowne on the Canadian side, in case that matters much.
