Chinook! Looks like we have a bonus day out on the water. As I drove out to the lake to meet my buddy Doug, the thermometer climbed to 14C on my truck and the chinook arch filled the western sky. That is crazy for November. Well Doug already had the boat launched so we tied on blobs, specifically Biscutt Blobs. We were both into rainbow trout right away! The interesting thing for me was using blobs in shallow water. We used our blobs from 4 feet to 10 feet below a strike indicator. We had a lot of success in the morning although the hook ups in the afternoon definitely slowed.
What were the rainbows eating? Not surprisingly the trout were dining on daphnia, tiny immature damsels and shrimp.
As I headed home, the mercury climbed to 16C. Crazy weather but the pleasant temperature allowed Doug and I a bonus day of fly fishing!
