After a hiatus of one year, theHendrickson Hatch fly fishingtournament will return to the

waters of the Salmon River inMalone on June 4 and 5.The popular event had been

held annually since 2005 un-til last year, when organizersdecided to move to an every-other-year schedule. The two-day catch-and-release compe-

tition will take place betweenthe dam in Chasm Falls andthe state Route 37 river cross-

ing in Westville.The tournament will bebolstered this year by a $4,000donation from Brookfield Re-newable Energy Partners LP,

which paid for the stocking of

Hendrickson Hatch returns

There are few things morerelaxing than sitting on thebank of a river, fishing pole inhand. Franklin County offersplenty of spots for both the an-gler just looking for a place tokick back and wait for a bite ontheir worm-baited hook andfor those serious fishermen

who hit the water in boats withtackle boxes stuffed with lures.

The following are excerptsfrom “Good Fishing in the Ad-irondacks” edited by Dennis

Aprill.

FISHING SPOTSLake Colby and Upper Sa-

ranac: Lake Colby is locatedon State Route 86, near LowerSaranac Lake. Fish speciesinclude rainbow and browntrout, as well as salmon, smelt,splake and perch.

“Camp and small boat ac-cess is available at the [De-partment of EnvironmentalConservation]-maintainedboat launch on [state] Route86 across from the [Adiron-dack Medical Center],” the

book stated.The book stated that rain-

bows can be best caught dur-ing the summer by fishermen

who troll slowly around themiddle of the late.

“Especially off the pointpast the former Camp Inter-mission,” the book said. “Bassfishermen have also discov-ered the shallows of the west-ern bays.”

Acco rdi ng to the book,smallmouth and rock bass arepopular species during thesummertime, “as are north-ern pike in the shallow bays ofthe northern end of the lake,”the book stated. “Live bait andspinnerbaits work best in theSaginaw of Square Bays.”

A nighttime fishing activitythat this book deems popularin the area is fishing for bull-head, which are said to bepresent in every lake in thearea.

“Night crawlers, a bobber,a lamp, or fire, and a few goodfriends are all you need for agood night of bullheading,”

the book said.Tupper Lake: Tupper Lake,

according to the book, is bestknown for its bass, pike, laketrout and salmon fishing.

Because the lake itself wasdammed and expanded tohelp with the transportationof logs to the mill, it createdmany acres of shallow, weed-filled water, according to thebook.

“Shallow weed beds provideexcellent habitat for northernpike, walleyes, and bass,” itsaid. “Live bait is customar-ily used, though white andchartreuse spinnerbaits havegrown in popularity in recent

years.”The book stated that the

best time for fishing is betweenthe early morning or late af-ternoon because of the wind.

“There is a state-mandatedboat launch on [state] Route30 south of Tupper Lake vil-lage,” the book said.

Cranberry Lake: CranberryLake is reached going west onstate Route 3 for 26 miles fromthe village of Tupper Lake tothe hamlet of Cranberry Lake,according to the book. Thelake is regularly stocked withbrook trout, according to thebook.

Smallmouthed bass can

also be caught there. To catchsmallmouthed bass, live min-nows are most effective.

“Deep casting in the flowscan be effective, especially inlate July or August,” the booksaid. “Rock bass weighing asmuch as half a pound are alsopresent here, particularly inthe flows.”

They can also be caught with worms and various small

spinners.Boats can be launched inthe village on Columbian

Plenty of opportunities for anglers of all ages

Franklin County and the surrounding areas have an abundance offishing spots available for both the serious and casual angler.

erty just outside the village of Malone.The cost of a single-day membership

is $10. Year-round club membershipsare $20 for individuals and $30 for fami-lies.

The club’s 168-acre property is hometo nearly two-dozen trails for hikingand mountain biking. Parts of the PondTrail and Jack Rabbit trail are the old Webster Street Road, which providesaccess to property owners all the waysouth to county Route 41, the Fayette

Road, so be prepared to share the road with motor vehicles. Also, not all of thetrails are on Fish and Game Club prop-erty, so you may encounter four-wheel-

ers on the private lands.The club also has an archery course

and a gun range.For those interested in archery, there

are about 15 bale targets and parts of3D targets scattered throughout thetrails. Traditional and compound bowshooters are welcome; field points only,no broadheads.

Those who prefer firearms to bows will be able to enjoy the 100-yard-longshooting range. The range is for mem-bers only, and shooters must bringtheir own targets and target holders.

Everyone using the gun range musthave their membership card with them,

and must carry out their trash andbrass.

Gun range hours are from dawn todusk.

Fish and Game Club activitiesRoad, south of state Route 3, accordingto the book.

In addition to the above-namedsites, state’s official Adirondack touristguide lists the St. Regis Chain of Lakes

as one of the best spots in the state totry for a trophy pike. The chain can beaccessed off St. Regis Carry Road, offRoute 30 between Paul Smiths andLake Clear at Upper St. Regis Land-ing. Motor boats are not permitted onthese waters, and there are many pri-vate properties along the shoreline,according to the state guide.

Other good fishing sites in FranklinCounty include the Chateaugay River, which runs from the Forge Dam across

the border into Canada. The river’s up-per section, which runs from the damto High Falls, can be accessed fromthe dam. The lower section, from High

Falls to the border, has to good accessspots – one on Sam Cook Road nearthe Canadian border, the other nextto the Route 11 bridge in Chateaugay.The river is a great location to findbrook, rainbow and brown trout.

For all the access spots for the Cha-

teaugay River, visit the DEC website.Trout are also abundant in the Little

Salmon River, which winds its waythrough the western part of the coun-ty. Some of the more popular spots arein the section between U.S. Route 11 inthe village of Brushton and state Route11B in the hamlet of West Bangor.

There’s also the aptly named TroutRiver, which can be accessed from thehamlet of Constable, and the SalmonRiver, which despite its name is also

the home to some great trout fishing.the Salmon River is easily accessedfrom many locations, centered aroundthe village of Malone.

additional fish.TA partnership with the Tri-

Lakes Chapter of Trout Unlim-ited will provide an additional$2,000 a year for the next three

years to stock the catch-and-release section of the river.The money will be used to pur-chase 2- and 3-year-old trout,and Trout Unlimited will alsobe stocking fingerling brooktrout in the fall in hopes of es-tablishing a wild population.

MADRID — For the first

time in 25 years, there will beno Madrid Bluegrass Festivalthis summer.

However, a new summermusic series is being launchedthat will provide a variety offree entertainment Wednes-day nights this summer in theMadrid Community Park, ascenic area along the GrasseRiver.

Tammy Hawkins, bluegrass

festival chair for the past sev-eral years, said she and theother core group of volunteersneeded a break from numer-ous duties involved with set-ting up the three-day festivalthat’s been held each Junesince 1990.

“It was a lot of fun, but it was a big commitment,” Mrs.Hawkins said.

Preparing for the event in-volved contracting bandsand getting campsites ready.

Volunteers also prepared aspaghetti supper, chicken bar-becue and breakfast food for

campers and other visitors.“It really is a year-round

project. I was luck to have so

many great volunteers,” At i ts peak, the event drew

1,000 people, including localsand those who traveled fromother states and Canada. Ma-ny stayed at nearly 100 camp-sites available in the town parkalong the Grasse River.

The annual event was also aboon to local eateries and oth-er businesses.

Mrs. Hawkins said atten-

dance has declined in the pastfew years, possibly becausethe weak Canadian dollar maybe keeping some from comingover the border.

It was launched by com-munity Donald “Bud” Rupert,

who died in 2005, leaving be-hind the festival as his legacy.

Anna M. Campbell, said when she learned the festival

wasn’ t happening, she ap-proached town officials aboutthe idea of organizing a music

series that would draw com-munity members to the parkand help local businesses.

A subcommittee was creat-ed under the town’s Park andRecreation Committee andthe idea took off, she said.

Community Bank steppedforward as a sponsor and do-

nations have come in from pri-vate individuals and churches.

“Madrid is a very small,

proud, wonderful town,” shesaid. “It’s going to be a lot offun.”

Located near the Madriddam, the community park of-fers a large playground, a pa-vilion, a community buildingand waterfront access.

Having the concerts on

Wednesday eveni ngs coin -cides with specials that will beoffered at local eateries and

businesses, she said.She said the series is de-

signed to compliment, ratherthan compete with summerconcerts in Norwood, Wad-dington and other north coun-try communities. The concertsare free, but donations are

welcome.

New summer series a boon to local communities

All events run from 6 to 8p.m. unless otherwise noted inthe Madrid Community Park,near the dam.
