Catching Spawning Whitefish ?

[GbayGiant]

I posted the other day on the old site about jumping crappie, they ended up being spawning whitefish.

I had my crappie gear with me and from what I've been reading the whitefish like the small stuff too. I tried small hooks with a single salmon egg, swedish pimples, 1/16 jig and minnow and flies of bottom and drifted in the current a few times all day without a sniff of action. I was told they won't feed while spawning.

 

Does anyone fish for whitefish ? when there spawning ? How do you get them to bite ?

 

It would be good because theres no boats ever around and I don't think anyone knows about them being there, or maybe other people have tried and failed as well.

salmon or trout skeen.........it is well known they spawn this time of year where you are fishing but there are other things to target before the seasons close is all...Good luck
