High Falls!
Now you are getting personal.
There is a pool about 40 yds below the falls where I took my biggest Brookie in 1957.
If you launch at the Wanakena village you will find the water high this week and you will probably see snow.
Get upstream about 1/2 mile above the falls and go East about the same distance to Grumpy's swamp. A local guy, Chris Lamphere, broke an ankle there about 1940, and was grumpy when found and had to be helped out. Some local guys named the spot Grumpy's swamp. Deer bed there. Have for at least 60 yrs. There just may be an illegal salt lick North of that huge Hemlock. Local legend, you know. I really know nothing about it.

There used to be a Ranger School maintained Adirondack lean to there that would afford some shelter. Little, but some.
Been over 35 years since I was there.
Wave when you go through the village of Oswegatchie. Born, raised, married, worked there.

Fletcher's motel in Oswegatchie is old but usually clean if needed.

Good Hunting,

Jim


BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER. ~ Ephesians 6:10

Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
--Winston Churchill
