Finally, some decent bows. I made my way down to a local trib and visited a couple pools that I had scouted out earlier this spring. From my high postion I could see a few dark fish moving about...couldn't tell if they were salmon or carp. The pool was big and deep, but the entrance and exit to it was very shallow. I knew these fish weren't going anywhere, so I made a combat stealth approach that would have impressed the heck out of Floatfishin.
Now that I'm close - their small salmon...pinks I think. First cast I drifted a piece of roe right past the lead fish in the pool and out of the darkness of the pool comes a flash of siver and wham!! Fish on!
I visited 3 pools and pulled 4 nice bows out. I also lost a bow and a salmon. I was able to get 2 fish to hook up in each pool and went 4 for 6.
The bows were extremely aggresive. One came over the top of a salmon to smash the roe bag. In another pool, the fish were chasing each other. I'd see a bow chasing a salmon, then a salmon chasing a bow! These fish are begging for rain to get them moving. I'm guessing the rain this weekend will bring up a really nice run from the lake.
