Karen and I have been itching to get to Sylvan Lake again. The wind died down enough for us to get out! Pepper was not about to be left at home. He rocketed himself into the truck. He was excited. Once we got our 1756 G3 launched we were off down the lake. We set up in 6 feet of water and caught some whitefish but when we set up in 8 feet of water, the action was quite steady! We were using black and red ice cream cone chironomids. We even caught some pike and walleye on chironomids. We seldom get broken off by the pike. Weird considering the teeth in these toothy critters.
We saw lots of people out on Sylvan today. Many of the boats to me seemed overloaded. A lot of fish are leaving the lake and that concerns me as well!
We loved our day. We learned to keep trying different depths and fly fish about a foot from the bottom!
Remember, once you get to the boat launch have everything ready so you are not slowing down the boat launch! Be sure to have approved lifejackets, a whistle, bailer and a throw rope. Also, do not crowd other boats, there is lots of room for everyone!
Warm days ahead. Get out there and enjoy!
