Locnar Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 After a gruelling 12 hours of snow removal yesterday... mostly shovelling... I had a hard time waking up this morning. A little later than planned. I hit the road at about 7:15am, wanted to be out the door by 6:30, but I didn't get out of bed til 6:45. After a short detour, which cost me about 20 minutes of driving around peterborough... oops haha... and after stopping for a coffee and bait I got to the lake at about 9:30. Drilled a few holes and away I went. Didn't take too long to get into fish, caught about 5 in 3 hours. Missed a couple as well. I noticed some stuff that looked like some weird plant material floating up into my hole after a couple hours... but upon closer inspection they turned out to be insects. It looked kind of like a balled up leaf with a small insect sticking out one end of it. Probably had like 30 of them in one hole. Forgot to take any pictures of them, should have though. Any ideas on what they'd be? Here's a photo of one of the fish from the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locnar Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 That's exactly what they were! Thanks buddy. I'm sure they'd work as bait as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Locnar, Denis McGee would karate chop you if he heard you question the power of the caddis. I think it's the only fly he ever ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locnar Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I don't doubt they're working power. The hole that had about 20 of em floating in it caught all the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
