Had some pretty good fishing at Kenauk last week. I got a chance to fish at their show piece lake attached to their Papineau Lodge. That is where they likely entertain prospective buyers. Our cabin wasn't ready and no-one was at the Lodge so I was allowed to fish Otter. On my first session of three or four hours I landed about 20 rainbows much like this one. There are too many trout in this lake (what am I saying?) and they were all in one spot. But first you have to find that spot. Went back the next day and landed over 30 (I stopped counting). Now this number is what was "landed". I lost just as many not to mention the hits. I lost a lot of flies too. And my leader snapped a few times. Best flies were the orange Hammill's and Sheedy's PT crayfish. Many reported that orange flies worked well which they do at this time of year (as well as in the Fall). We had guys at 3-Point so I thought I should go up there. In a couple of hours I landed seven. Again orange was king. Spent some time at our home lake, Taunton, but didn't do as well. Finished my trip at their best brookie lake, Collins. The guys at this cabin/lake weren't doing so well but that is because they couldn't find the honey hole. I did. Got a few at 17 inches like this one. The spot was near the launch so I figure they were recently stocked fish. Interesting that some of the larger trout in the lake were fraternizing with the newbies. Brookies always go in groups and go on the bite as a whole.
