Cochrane Air in 3 days!!

[beerman]

Hi,

I am leaving thursday for cochrane air services.. We are flying in friday.. Few questions??

 

Hows the fishing up there?? I noticed its been pretty cold, any chance of it warming up at all???

 

Hows the bugs, bad???

 

I am worried about the cold weather shutting down the fish? Any info would help..

 

Where can I get the best forcast for cochrane, ontario???

 

 

thanks

WEather network is your friend....water levels will most certainly be high, so look for places that get the most sunlight through the day, they'll warm up quicker. Bugs will be bad if it's warm out....but you might get lucky if you're far enough north. I doubt it though

Bring back lots of pics to post!!!!

Its been cold

 

over 15 will bring the blackflies out in hordes. They will tear you apart. bring a head net

I just got back from 150KM north of Cochrane on Saturday, water levels dropped drastically in the 9 days I was there. NO black flies and only a couple of mosquitoes, but if you get some hot weather they won't take long to show up in HOARDS!!!!!

 

Water temperature went from 39 to 58 in 9 days....awesome fishing as always.

 

Cheers

One thing that you may not think to bring is a bug net to sleep under; they hang like a fine mesh cage over your bunk. I swear, they're worth their weight in gold.

They don't weigh a lot do they?

[beerman]

I already have the bug net for my bunk packed up.. It does not weigh much at all..

The Cubans also make some EXCELLENT bug repellant...hand rolled and everything!
