Well I took the Misses out for her first taste ofaction on the Ottawa at Bates Island. A couple other chaps were fly fishing when we arrived, though we didn't have the chance to chat. One was casting a mean line with a spey rod and the other two looked to be just getting into the sport. In any case it's nice to see more people fly fishing.
The bite was ok, though significantly slower than Tuesday's. We both managed around 6-12 SM in the 8-12" range. On the wade back across the main channel we decided to throw poppers and were rewarded with a couple of nice smallies
