let's go through the Flies I've used in this trip they cover right from the bottom to the
top first off we still this is probably the one of the better streamers that I use it's
just a silver bodied streamer it's got a big red piece of fluff on the butt part of it
there and I think that's what attracted them and what we're doing right now is trying to
invoke a violent uh attack uh they're not very tolerant right now they're in their
spawning mode and they they they're vicious and they push everything away that they can
that was the latest one we used probably the most productive flies that I used on
this trip were muddler minnows I used them with a sink tip plus a little bit of lead to get them
right down to the bottom and there was two basic colors that we used first was my our yellow one
and then an orange one both of them produced about the same amount of fish uh it for some
reason they like it the pike really like them so they're good all-round fly for Labrador
on top Mouse patterns I took them on most patterns
and they are a lot of fun now at this time of year they're not hitting most patterns a
lot because they're in spawning mode they are they got other things on their mind right now
and they're just trying to to be Territorial and keep everything away so I didn't take a lot on the
mouse patterns but although at different times a year that's probably your most effective pattern
then we have stone flies that I was using and this is happens to be a Kaufman Stone and I think it
worked because of the it's got rubber legs on it and it looks very buggy and when I set them up the
same ways you would nymph anywhere else with an indicator some split shot to get it down and this
worked very well and finally probably the most fun I had was we come across one morning they were
up there was a hatch going on and the fish were taking emerges we could actually see them on top
and so what I used here was an emergence pattern it's all it is is a wet wet fly it's a the body
is made of peacock curl and just a collared with the little little guinea fowl there and
it's just a soft tackled wet fly that I used it as an emerger that was just underneath the
surface probably two inches under the surface I did not use any weight at all that was probably
the most fun I had of all of all the all the fish I took this week was that pattern there foreign
First cast I can't get over this this is uh I put on a Conehead I guess it'd be like a
muddler minnow and first pass this guy grabbed it oh it's a decent fish too real decent fish
now this is this is just decent fish for up here the fish up here are quite large
this is an eight weight rod and he's got it all bent
I have a sink tip on here a long sink tip it's about 12 feet long
with about four four feet of uh 12 pound test so I can really put the boots to this guy if I need
to that did not take long and this is a really good fish and it's dressed out in its fall colors
this is a really good fish oh my God this is this is
oh my goodness how's that for first fish
that's a good five pound not bad for a start I guess
I'm gonna put a glove on here so I can hold them properly and show the camera
foreign how's that for the first fish of the day look at that fish the colors were dressed
out in Fall it's a male as you can tell if you look at this at his bottom jaw he has
a hook in it it's called a kite and that's not bad for first fish let's put him back
and away he goes
well I'll tell you manipula is a place first cast I can't get over that it is uh we even
got a late start it's uh 9 30 in the morning so you get to sleep in here too that's nice
