Trip Summary

The best time to have a chance of a trophy fish is January through March when the water is really cold. The big arctic front that is blowing through as we speak should kick start this bite. We mainly use 2 techniques which are dead sticking flukes and trolling umbrella rigs. Dead sticking is an addictive bite...you have to love the quick thump! Trolling umbrella rigs with 9 swimbaits around river edges and shallow flats is a good way to stir up big fish that are sitting on bottom. Give me a call and let's go fishing!
