Hey Rob. That looks like lotsa fun. I took the whole ride with you there and got a chuckle from your wife peeling out with your pickup! Very nice quiet day of smally fishing. Some of those runs look great to work a nice brown woolly bugger through, I’m sure it would do the trick. Give it a try during your next trip. C u then.
Hi Tom. I had a fun day for sure. I really didn't spend a lot of time on each of the pools. The bass were hot for topwater so I didn't change flies as the day progressed because the popper kept getting hits. I hope to run down there again. There is one spot I really want to fish again for sure. I have been using new streamer patterns that I came up with, and they appeared in Fly Tyer, the trilobal minnow. Bass and trout have been killing it this season. Brown buggers are good. I think the bass are still hitting crayfish and they usually switch to minnows in the next week or two if the water starts cooling.
I've never been on a paddleboard, but there are some good videos of folks fly fishing from them. I think I would be afraid of dropping something expensive in the water. Haven't hit the Sacandaga yet this year. I usually take the boat. Glad you had a good outing up there.
It is a Watermaster Grizzly that I picked up as a gently used buy. It did well getting down the creek and I also had it out on an Adirondack trout lake twice this year. Thus far I like it, but want to add a couple of things.

I did something similar on a paddleboard on the sacandaga early July, I've never seen more +18in bass

What kind of raft is that ?
That is a Water Master raft. They are pricey, but very nice!
