Thursday 6/8... headed back out with my brother after the rain ended. A few rainbows and lakers cooperated. The sun finally broke through late in the day. Spoons with 5 colors of leadcore.
Brian, were the larvae big mayfly nymphs? Last year the big hatches were mid June and they shut down the walleye bite for almost a week. To much easy food available.
Great job. Sounds like you saved his life. 38 degrees with waders on. Would not have lasted long. You are a well prepared quick thinker. He was lucky you were there.
Got out on my fishing kayak Thursday afternoon. Trolled for rainbows with dipsy and spoon. Lost a good rainbow when he jumped a couple feet above the water! Managed 1 fat laker. First time trolling in kayak. Learned a lot.
Spent a beautiful afternoon on Owasco yesterday with my wife. Trolled around in search of rainbows... went 3 for 8, all healthy lakers and released. Dipsies 3 setting, 140 to 160 feet out. Thinking a couple of the fish lost were probably rainbows.
