Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Departed the Soo early in the morning saturday, narrowly missing a highway closure! We caught 15 fish although yours truly had a tough day with a single 2lb fish all day. It was worth it though! Please enjoy my video report! http://vimeo.com/9134232 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troutologist Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Right on dude, great song for the background too, I havent broke that disc out in a while. Got a view of your tracks from the plane today, clear skies over that area and I got the binos out to check things out. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a really good hike and between the treadmill, the weekly hikes, and the wife imposed yoga I'm finally starting to get back in shape. I've got the gear trimmed down to the point that I'm no longer sore the next day... no sore knees and no hip flexor. Take care up north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookslav Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hey Dr. What was on the end of your rigs? Just curious as I see a flasher and about 14" of line LOL... Did you walk minnows back, or was that a fly, jig? Just curious for future Brookie trips Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious for future Brookie trips Cheers, on the particular line in the photos i believe he had only a minnow head on the snelled hook, although we also use worms and nymph patterns as well. the one gent was using a worm, then another 6 inches of line down to a nymph rubbing right on bottom.

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) Great report and video Dr S Beautiful brookies..... love the second pic.... some dark color markings on that one Thanks for showing us in detail the accessories needed for such trek Neat and organize!!! Leechman I have to be organized like that because my brain doesn't work at 4 am. I lay out my clothes in the order I have to put them on so I don't end up with underwear on my head in place of a toque. Also, my wife likes it when I am ready to go the night before. Apparently I sound like a bull moose in a china shop when I'm getting my stuff ready in the morning. The fish were VERY dark in this lake, quite a contrast from the incredibly red fish we caught last weekend.

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 i forgot to mention, almost all of the fish were hooked in the tip of the snout and were released quickly. 3 of the fish caught were a little worse off and were kept for a delicious speck dinner. i myself will be having tilapia instead.
