Fishing thieves

[frogge]

Hey

Just a warning that at least a part of the fishing community cannot be trusted. I hiked into Goose pone near Schroon lake last friday. This is a significant carry and I was elated that I was the only person on the Pond. I left my spare spool with floating line, my rod case and my jacket by a stump at the launch site, cause I didn't want them flopping around in my pack canoe. I noted four other boats(5people) arrived after me. Three fisherman and a couple canoe camping. When I left my equipment was gone. I called out to the two closest fishermen and they hadn't seen my stuff. I'm amazed that someone would steal stuff at a hike in pond. Costly lesson. I'll keep all my stuff in the boat in the future.Toodles,Frogge.
