Christopheraaron Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Was hoping to get out east and float some estuaries this morning but my ride decided to look at ice huts instead so I had to go west for the second day in a row (Poor me lol). Got there expecting at least a bit of a stain to the water with the rain we got last night, but upon seeing the river it was obvious that the rain hadn't done anything, still tonnes of visibility. Started off using an egg sucking leech under an indicator but wasn't getting much of a response, so I switched up to the pin drifting a 6mm fresh dropped bead and small roe bag. Still wan't getting anything but at least I had confidence in this pattern so I kept fishing it until it paid off, float drops, short fight and a beautifully coloured hen comes to the bank. Here are some pics. The rig of choice. Confidence after a good 2 days of skunking regained! Found this guy after I nearly stepped on him. Toward the end of the day I also found this. I'm not sure what it's from, I'm guessing a small fawn (TBH it actually felt A LOT like caribou hair, but somehow I doubt it is ) sorry for the bad pic quality but any guesses? I'm guessing it was taken down by a coyote... That's it, only one trout and some pesky chubs but good to be on the river again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Awesome!!! The more i see these types of reports the more i wanna try it it would involve some heavy travelling though. Superior tribs would be the closest to me i think??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Awesome!!! The more i see these types of reports the more i wanna try it it would involve some heavy travelling though.

I believe the st mary's gets a run, that's probably only a couple hours for you. You could talk to TDunn, I'm pretty sure he fishes it a lot.

You could talk to TDunn, I'm pretty sure he fishes it a lot. He's from Rainy River thats more like 12 hours from the St Mary's. Manitou there are a bunch of tribs west of Tbay that take in steelhead- probably only about 4-5 hours for you, could be doable in a multi day trip.
