Long weekend lakers

[jayess]

Went backcountry again this weekend. A fair bit of slogging with canoes and gear paid off in fish. Nothing big, but great eaters. Fish were caught over 40-60ft of water, with a few hitters at 30ft on the sides of dropoffs. We used 2oz-3oz weighted setups, one guy used a jet diver at 40ft. Mepps, wablers, and the usual suspects.

Nice report , you have to love those back lakes . I am going to a lake like that in a

couple of weeks . Hopefully it cools down by then and the lakers get a little more hungry

and come out of the depths !

Hey cwpowell, I shoot with a Canon 40D. This trip I used a 24-105mm f4 and 10-22mm for wide.

 

I shoot raw so that I can touch up any exposure issues, but these ones worked out pretty well straight out of the camera. I add a touch of vibrance in some shots though to take away from what was otherwise very dismal, dull colours due to the wet weather!
