Fishing overlooked areas


Slipped out last evening for fish at a small barely flowing creek that was backed up with high levels from the main river. Walleye were cornering bait fish in the shallows and Pike were hanging out along the edges waiting for a potential meal to come too close. If you tend to explore most tributaries, give the ones that are merely a trickle a try and you'll likely find a feeding area that's often over looked.
 I caught near 10 Walleye and 3 small Pike, two of which had very fresh wounds that were clearly from a much larger Pike that was lurking somewhere nearby.
This one's interest was peaked with a egg sucking leach Intruder!

Mud, Steelhead, Intruders

Pretty funny how I was expecting to start posting again and never did since January! Well.. Life has certainly been busy with a change in employers a few days after that post. Since then I've had only 6 days off for vacation, yes that's right.. 6 days since February!
The fishing in my area has been pretty much a bust locally for Walleye fishing in the rivers, (bloody rain)
though I was lucky enough to head to Terrace for those days off and catch my first wild Steelhead.
Not the powerhouse like the Kings but has been a dream of mine for some time.
Through the winter I was acquiring a Spey set-up for the summer Chinook run over there and have been bitten hard by the Intruder pattern which I will use for Walleye and Pike here too.
