1st big bug hatch of the year

Salmon flies have never been overly appealing to me, unlike a cicada, but it was cool to finally catch them on some local waters. they are fun to take photos of and we caught a few fish on them as well.

Chucking streamers

 myself and matt ventured out at 1st light loaded with streamers. fished a nice chunk of water and although we moved a good number of fish the catch total was small. thats alright cause the weather was good and the company was nice.

Ice off

 I had driven past the lake 3 of the past 4 weeks and due to ice it was still not fishable. me and matt drove over and caught it about right this time. headed over to one of my favorite bays but it fished like shit, although i did pull a cuttie on a mouse. we ended up driving over to the other side of the lake and making a long walk in. the 1st hour or so in the new location started off slow but it eventually picked up and we caught fish on streamers, leeches and chironomids. the weather was a bit goofy/springish. waters were glass, then the winds picked up, then it started raining, then hail, then sun and no wind. the dya finished off with high winds and cold.
