The document describes the author's fishing trip over three days at Umbagog Lake, which stretches between Maine and New Hampshire. On the first day, the author and Jared found a successful fishing spot near the boat docks using bobbers, catching many fish. The second day, they used spinners and caught chain pickerel and other fish. On the third day, they caught several yellow perch and sunfish before practicing catch and release, with the author needing to remove a hooked chain pickerel from the water. The author encourages the reader to visit Umbagog Lake for their own adventure.

1. Today, Jared and I went down to the boat docks to go fishing. It’s
already the third day since we arrived at Umbagog Lake, but to fill you in
about how we got here, I guess we will start at Umbagog Lake. Umbagog
Lake is a massive lake that stretches into New Hampshire and Maine, but
strangely the deepest point in the lake is only 14-15 feet deep, which is not
very deep at all. The trip to Umbagog Lake took about two and half hours.
Once we finally arrived at the park, it took us a little bit to navigate
through narrow, bumpy roads to our camp sites, but as usual we have a
medium-sized camper, which makes it tough to go through the maze-like
roads to the campsite. The first day after we got our tent set up and our
stuff moved into it, we decided to go down to the beach and look around
for a good fishing spot. The first spot we tried was very successful but we
ended up having problems snagging lines on rocks and weeds. Then we
ended up going to the other side of the beach to where the boat docks were
and where a big rock stuck out of the water. We ended up using bobbers
instead of lures and learned very quickly that there is a real strong current
where our bobbers would end up coming into the shore faster than we
wanted to, so we ended up casting our lines out even further and almost

2. two minutes after they were out there we ended up catching a lot of fish.
On the second day at Umbagog lake, Jared and I got up early to go
fishing, because the bugs would be out on the lake and the fish would be
eating them. When we got down to the docks, we used spinners instead of
bobbers, hooks, and worms. Almost immediately the fish started to bite,
but what we were caching most of the day were 13-14” Chain Picral and
we through them back into the water, because they are a very boney fish,
but they do taste very good from what I hear.
Now that we are back to the third day, Jared and I have caught five
Yellow Perch, and one Sunfish. We ended up starting to just catch and
release because we had quite a bit of fish now. Two minutes later, I ended
up catching a 14” Chain Picral, that had swallowed my hook pretty bad,
the hook went through its mouth and out it gills and got tangled in its fin.
It took about a minute to get the hook out of the fish and put it back in the
water, and by the time that was over it was time to head back to the
campsite.
Looking back at n what you’ve just read, you can tell that I had a
pretty good time on Lake Umbagog lake, but from a point of view that I

3. would like to say, it was the best time of my life. I think that a lot of
people that go there every year always have a great experience and thrill
seeking adventures. Now having said that, go to Umbagog Lake, and have
an adventure of your own.
