Fishin' this week-end?

[dreamcatcher]

Rain is no problem it's the wind when it's that high that makes it hard!

[dreamcatcher]

Well, If I was a betting person for both days: Hmmmm. Should be one hell of an upwelling. The calmest place is at the salmon hole below sea level with Matt to file a report.


Not good, not good:

I forgot how high and muddy the winooski was from the overnight heavy rains from Thursday. I know someone going up to Sterling Pond up in the notch to fish brookies today.

[dreamcatcher]

Thats sounds like a good time!

[easilyamused]

maybe some shore fishing - kinda windy this morning - really not too concerned about the rain...

[Fishbone]

Is the wave as big on the inland sea ?

Is is about the same as the bigger portion of the lake ?

"Usually" the waves and bumps on the Sea are not as bad as the main lake...but a hard North makes the Sea conditions tough to fish in.

[Fishbone]

Thanks Raz...

I am at tthe campground and ready to go.

Don't know what to do

I just need to cross from Treadwell Bay to the gutt then i will be on the sea...

Too much of wind, waves and rain for me. Stayed on "dry" land. Went shopping for a couple of items for fly fishing. Couldn't believe the traffic. It would've been better on the lake. I was also surprised to see downrigger items at Classic Outfitters. It's been years since I've been in the place. I picked up a Blacks release for $8.95. It seemed weird to buy a release, fly line leader and a few streamers at the same store. Thinking of trying my flyrod from the boat when the salmon come to the top. That'll be a rush.

[Fishbone]

Thanks again Raz...

I am still discovering the lake... Went halfway & turned around. 3 feet wave plus.. It's a no go ... Hope it will be better tomorrow.

Dan, I was at my campsite this afternoon to do some works and I was looking at the main lake and the waves where more then 4 ft for a certain time then after they look like 2-3 but more foggy.

Absolutly a time to say out on ground.

[Fishbone]

Got that right Andre. This is all new to me. First year on the lake. First year with this boat. Nothing like experiencing to gain expérience. Of course i really appreciate all of you ... Very generous in your advice, comment and help. Once again ... Tks.

Andre wich cambiste are you staying ?
