Lanark Fishing

I have this nifty semi private Lanark lake that is 45 minutes from home.  Yesterday, I had almost as good fishing as my Quebec lake which takes me 2 3/4 hours to get to! At least 8 SM and LM in the 16-18" range plus one SM at about 20".  The 30" (I measured) pike was an extra bonus almost right at docking to leave.  I've caught this one before in exactly the same spot last year.  Some people don't like pike but I've never met a fish I didn't like.  Surface temp was 74F but it was mostly a sunny day.  I started off with my intermediate line  with the usual cone/bead head green, black and white WBs and caught a few.  Tried the dry line with a popper in some weed beds (nothing doing)  but it wasn't until I switched to my #3 sink and a wild choice of a size 3 Mrs Simpson in order to cross the lake.  I didn't expect to catch anything in the 25ft of water as I usually coast the shoreline, casting to likely spots close to shore and trolling onto the next spot.  But right in the middle of the lake I caught the 20-21" SM (it keeps getting larger).  I caught all sorts of smaller bass in the 12-14" range plus all the dinky ones as well.  All in all, a pretty good day.  Although I'm suffering a bit with sun exposure.  I have a wide brim hate which covers most of my face but even with sun screen I burnt my chin again!  I have to remember to keep putting that stuff on.   Might have to go on the lake looking like a bandit but I'm not sure the cabin owners would appreciate that.  At least they waved at me in a friendly way (this is important).  Not sure I would get the same response with my face all covered.
