Another well defined chinook arch was stretched across the western horizon this morning. The best part was the 10C weather at 8 am. It has been -10C a lot lately as the sun rose. Not today!
After our morning run, we dashed out to a local lake. There were just two boats on the water! That was an added bonus! Once Karen and I loaded up the pram, we motored out to talk to Doug Pullan. Just as we got there, the fly fishing started to pick up too!
Our first rainbow was full of shrimp! You can see the throat sample just above! Can you see the pregnant shrimp? That motivated Karen and I to head to the edges and fly fish just off of the edges. We had an awesome afternoon tangling with many rainbows. Doug was consistently tangling with decent sized rainbows too! That made for an excellent afternoon!
We were fully expecting to get a blast of wind from the the chinook overhead but it never happened.
This is another interesting throat sample that Doug retrieved from a rainbow. Baby damsels, bloodworms and shrimp. A very typical menu in the fall. We fished 4 to 6 feet below a strike indicator with our shrimp and leech imposters. That worked well. We often cast and retrieve when shrimp is on the menu over weed beds.
