Trip Summary
Trip Summary
Vince and his dad Bob, met me at the launch at 5:00am and we were headed out to the drop by 5:01, with our first line going in the water by 5:09am, and boy let me tell you it didn’t take long for it to start going crazy.
I was about to put the 4th line in, and the Spoon Rigger down 55 fired with a small shaker on the slider. We were running a Hot Banana Mag, and a Bloody Nose Slider regular size. Got that line reset and got the 4th rod in, and the other rigger went off which was a 13” @projectsalmon UV SIICK kingfisher with Glow Twinkie rig and meat heat fired and it pulled some line. This is what we are looking for for the @greatontariosalmonderby .
We wanted a board fish and this felt like it, pulling more line and not moving. Vince kept on it for over 15 minutes and then the line went limp.. Reeling in, only to find the bait head was gone with the full length to the swivel above still there. Must have been a good head shake and sawed it off… Their teeth are getting hard..
So I reset this rod with a different but similar rig, and got to getting the rest of the rods out, but one fish after another chinook, coho on spoon rigger, diver rod with 8” glow white split personality can’t decide and meat heads, and the green twin of this kept taking hits as well..
I finally got the 300 ws in with a custom mixed veggie flasher and fly and no sooner did it take a massive hit and hurried the board, and it didn’t come up for a very long time… about 10 mins in it went limp, like really limp.. The whole 300 WS came off with the rig. We managed to circle around and pickup the board successfully. Yet another possible board fish.
We got a surprise Brown Trout on a 200 WS on a spoon shortly there after followed by a number of Rainbows, and a Coho.., We got 4 species today and both Vince and Bob were smiling from ear to ear.
We fished along the drop from 170-220 and turned around just west of the filtration and headed back to bluffers and when we got about 1.5 miles west of bluffers we turned out and kept picking away at fish till we turned around in 300fow.
