I have this week off, and finally got out again on Winni with Digs this morning. It was a beautiful day, and the rain just stayed away enough to keep us dry.
I hadn’t fished the big lake for salmon at all this year in comparison to others, but started out at the popular spot and saw a bunch of boats.... got a small laker on lead, and had a miss on the river in the first hour. Then I missed a few more on the riggers, and eventually we got another laker around rattle/broads, and a small salmon. Kept searching and eventually found some active fish which resulted in a nice fat laker and decent rainbow for Digs.
All in all a great day not to be working, and I’ll be going out again in the morning with my dad. Wednesday looks like a wash, but if it’s not pouring I’ll go for the last day I think.
Good luck to anyone else who gets out. Once I’m done trolling Winni I’ll concentrate in the rivers and ponds for the next two weeks, including another trip with an MFF member I’m pumped about, and then it’s time for getting serious about archery and deer season. I love this time of year.
