I came to the lake to fish back in the early 1980's with colleagues from GE in Waynesboro VA. After that wild weekend of partying and some fishing, I became quite interested in SML. Came down later and camped and fished with Club member Gary Disbrow as we really started to discover the lake. Back then we used a 12 foot aluminum Starcraft with a 7 1/2 hp (I think) that came from Gary's father in Upstate NY. A far cry from what we use now. After being hooked on the lake, I purchased a self contained trailer and rented seasonal sites at the now closed Bass Cove campground near the State Park and later at Blue Ridge Campground near Gills Creek Marina.
