Few pics

40+ in hours

Last night I had the most phenomenal experience! I went out to my hole at about 8pm caught about 4 pike and a couple Walleye in an hour and then switched to popping at about 9:30 and the bite was on, the fish were voracious and schooling aggressively, nearly every cast was a fish landed. It was beyond anything I've ever experienced, I lost count at 10 and would say 40 Walleye landed conservatively. My Iphone lost power way before the stupidity began so I couldn't get enough pics or video.

Had an hour to spare this evening and checked out a few local spots. Things were a bit slow at first and decided to move out of the faster water to a nice calm area under a bridge and started catching as soon as the hook hit water with a Pike around 5lbs, moments later a Goldeye and 3 Walleye on White/Black Clouser. It was one of those moments that was turning into an awesome outing that unfortunately had to be cut short. If only for another hour!

Fishing lessons

I had a chance the other day to get down to the river and give the boys a lesson on catching Goldeye with a float and a little piece of Deer meat. We had such a great time. Marshall the youngest at 3yrs caught 3 while Judah at 4 landed 1 and was a bit miffed that his little bro out fished him.

Late Walleye

First Walleye of the season caught on a white bunny. The Peace River has been high and muddy and hasn't been very productive for fly fishing at the times I've been able to get out. I finished my week on at work and had the opportunity to stay out a little longer and landed one, they were just starting to feed on my offerings at 11:30pm but was cut short by some company and decided to pack it in.

Nice Pike but skunked on Walleye

All of my fishing holes are officially open for business so I went out for an hour this evening and was hoping to land a Walleye and hooked into a nice Pike on about the tenth cast.

It was a little tense because I was using an 8lb mono tippet. The river was high and he headed straight for fast current providing some great runs, as I neared him to shore he fought hard and headed into some floating driftwood amongst flooded willows. I was certain he would get off but remained patient and landed him with a graceful face wash and a boot full of water.

Below is the fly, Orange marabou, silver silly legs, and I think finn raccoon head with silver cone on Gamakatsu sl-12s, size 1/0.

Unfortunately no Walleye!

Bench work

Have to get back to the bench and get this season ready with some unchewed hooks. Here are a few Clousers to start. For me they are the cats @ss working them off the bottom.
