Another Day on the Lake
Nice to have a school vacation this time of year. Not many out on the lake yet so you get to fish without being bothered by all the vacationers. The lake is very cold right now, 42 degrees this morning so the salmon and lake trout can be anywhere. Fishing the top 10 feet of water seems to be the best place to find them. Although the salmon were no where to be found today at least the lake trout were around. Caught 3 while trolling streamers and lost another. Looked back at my log book from the past 2 years and the colors I was catching them on were pinks and orange. So last night I tied one streamer pink, white and red and the other was yellow, orange and a little gold flashabou. The pink caught 2 of the trout and lost one while the orange caught one. Here is a photo of one of the fish. It fell for the pink streamer. Will be out first thing tomorrow.

Great job, what streamer patter was it you were using?
ReplyDeleteDustin,
ReplyDeleteThey were patterns I made up myself based on a couple lures I've used in the past. One had a red floss body with silver mylar. Then tied in a layer of white buck tail, followed by pink then red and finally some crystal flashabou. The other was yellow floss body with gold Mylar then a layer of yellow bucktail followed by orange with gold flashabou on top.
