Oh Oh the Water Temperature!


I got a text from Rick saying that West Lake was fishing well and fire orange blobs were working well. A few days back, we used biscuit blobs but today, the best colour definitely was orange. 

The water temperature at West Lake (Fish and Game Pond at the Habitat Land) was getting down to that point where it will freeze over very soon. Another chinook was hovering over Central Alberta but the wind was bone chilling! Karen, Doug and I had to bundle up. Karen wore my extra winter coat just to stay warm. 

We found some active fish. Once we got the rainbows to the net, we just popped them off and sent them on their way. Nobody wanted to get their hands wet. The freezing temperatures made wet hands frigid in seconds. 

Rick did remind us that casting and retrieving blobs is also a great strategy not just hanging blobs below an indicator.
