A different type of fishing that has seen rewards been reaped by many. This forum allows us to learn more about Float and Fly fishing from those who have made it their number 1 way to fish.
My brother and I decided to fish below the Pakenham rapids tonight with the pontoon boats. The bite was pretty dead tonight. We only landed 2 bass between the two of us. There were a couple of boaters there and only saw them catch two bass and a pike.
Oh well, you may have not caught a ton of fish but look at the beauty of that area!
I love that bridge, it's very nice to look at and the rapids are very interesting, the water above is so clean and clear, it's a nice place to be.......
Half of fishing is just getting out and being in nature and exploring etc.
Surprised you only caught 2 fish between you but maybe next time you'll do better....the bite has been weird lately.at least for me....
By the way there is a nice trout stream near there......5 mins or so......

The current right now below the rapids is manageable. You can sit below the rapids and fish either side of the main current line. The one thing you have to watch out for there is the back eddy. The water slowly pulls you back up towards the rapids. If you're not paying attention it'll push you right up into the waterfall. In higher water flows it's very dangerous to fish there. The rapids act just like a low head dam. Do a search of 'drowning machine' on google and you'll know what I mean.
The fishing there can be good. I've got some nice bass and walleye.
