Return To The Sutton - A Teaser

[S.M.05]

Fishn specs on the Sutton with streamer and mouse patterns, pure trout porn!

 

Been having great success with big streamers on specs and splake this spring

and looking forward to finishing off the fall the same way.

 

Thanks for the tease, looking forward to the full report.

I think you're in the bush more than you're at home, crazy life you lead, very cool!

 

looking forward to the article and report

No kidding eh? That must be quite the trek for them! Are they flying into Hawley?

 

Would take 8 to 12 hours Mike. Earlier season (late Dec to mid Jan) before the bush snow was too deep and parts of the skeg ponds and creeks really slushed out. Boys went across land mostly, using parts of the Skat, Ekwan and other creeks to make their way. Couldn't always go every year as it often depended on the freeze and snow. Do know that 160 were kept one three day tour, and many more put back.

Mike

We stayed at PK Lodge on Granite Hill and fished both Buck Lake and Granite Hill. Buck lake was only ten minutes from PK. White River Air is only two miles out of White River and the flight was only 20 minutes. We easily could have caught many more walleyes(caught over 300, my partner counted his and caught 173).Nearly all our fish were caught in two hot locations, but we spent a lot of time scouting the lakes.(Buck Lake is advertised as three different Lakes with two lodges).

Granite Hill looked like a nice facility from what I could see when I was there, glad you enjoyed the trip!

And I'm looking forward to our trip in mid September, should be fun.

Can't believe that's all it would take from Attawapiskat! Such a long way!

Now that's a teaser alright. Surface flies for brookies...WoW. Looking forward to the full article and loved the video, especially the transition to the underwater releases. I have the Kelly Gallop Zoo Couger pattern, but that mouse pattern looks interesting. Do you have a link to the tying instructions?

Thanks bud! I'm not a fly tyer but that pattern is the king of mouse patterns imo. It's the Morrish Mouse, incredibly durable and floats like a cork.

The morrish is fairly easy to tie and floats like a cork. Tie in a tail of leather, followed by a tapered strip of black foam. Spin a body of deer and trim the belly short leaving the sides long. Cut a groove in the hair on top of the fly and pull the foam over the whole thing tying off at the eye, there should be about a half inch of foam extending past the eye.

Nice!

 

Love the mouse/brookie video.

[captpierre]

Incredible!

 

Sutton River.......on my bucketlist
