I was fishing Lake Mary in June near the ledge by the stumps. I was looking down and caught a flash. So I put my go pro on a piece of rope. Later when I reviewed the flash card, sure enough there was a rod n reel down there. I headed back out after a quick stop at the local rite aid in Mammoth. Picked up the biggest treble hook I could find and some fly backing and a little weight and tried to fish it out. But it was to deep. After about a half hour of trying I gave up. Then I seen some kids on a paddle board fishing cans out of the shallows. I kicked over in my float tube and asked how there swimming skills were. I said I dropped my rod and there is 20 spot if you can fish it out. It's in about 11 feet of water. Ten minutes later, I was out 20 dollars but had a gently used Orvis Clearwater rod with matching reel. It didn't look to be under for to long. I cleaned up the reel and it works like new. I also found this year: 2 pairs of pliers, 1 lanyard with some tippit material and floatant 1 submerged digital camera {not working] 2 pairs of sunglasses that I could use 2 hats [that I couldn't use] More power bait than I could count, [trash bound] I also found a womens bra in a tree. I left that there. 3 pair of hemostats And while fishing lake george, Somebody's stinger of fish swimming away. I have been very fortunate this year to have lost anything of value. I was just curious if anybody else out there has found anything cool or unusual while fishing. Cheers, Randy
