Near the Fall Equinox  on a cool morning, I arrived at Jacko Lake to find it very busy.    The World Fly Fishing Championships was scheduled for September 24 to 30, but teams from around the world were arriving and practice rounds were on local lakes, including Jacko Lake.   When I arrived the French team and the Italian team were ready to launch.      I quickly unloaded and launched onto the lake, sticking to the shoreline, avoiding fishermen.

Winds were light at the start, but gusts started, blowing down the lake from the northwest.   Remnants of the rainy/stormy weather of the night before hung on over the hills.

The lake’s body of water was low and the bays had lots of aquatic growth, making the loop around the lake a bit shorter.     Jacko is ascenic lake so any loop is a rewarding one.

I left the fly fishermen to some hours on the lake and got out of the cold wind.    Jacko is a favorite lake, always worth my time, but I will avoid the crowds and the wind on upcoming outings.
