Q: Are Almanac page paths predetermined?

So far, I have had absolutely zero luck catching a single Almanac Page in Assassin's Creed 3. Every time I start to chase one, I am immediately met with a pop-up stating: "The Almanac page is lost. Come back later and try again." ... or something to that effect, anyway. I just can't seem to...
