At lake 2 yesterday it was very windy so had a nap and set up camp. A chap came in late in the day with 2 nice ones taken on a flat fish tipped with a worm. He said the one he used was 15 years old and they do not make them any more. I said I would look for one in my travels, even took a picture of it so I could match it up.
I took his phone number so I could get one to him if I found one and of course I would like one too..
As he rushed home for supper and as he left I noticed he had left his battery motor behind so having is number I phoned and left a message for him so he knew I had it.
Seeing these fish I headed out for a bit and fished for a couple of hours with the gang troll again
and lost a nice one around 3 pounds at the boat.
I headed in at dark and the fellow had returned for his battery and told another camper it was a $400 one.
After a late supper off to bed and it was another cold night with frost in the morning but nothing a nice fire could not cure.
As I had to head to meet Gwyn at another lake I went out after a breakfast of french toast and once again the gang troll paid off with a fish close to 2 pounds. With 2 fish in the cooler I called it a morning and I headed in to break camp. Just as I got the Leaf Craft at shore the phone rang and I was distracted and stepped into 2 feet of mud, thanks Rod.
They were following me I guess and they arrived at bankers hours and once again enjoyed my fire. By this time The Master was out fishing with Dean, both fly fishing of course.
As I left Rod and Nina had their boat in the water as I bid them adieu. I hope they have good fishing but I observed very little bug activity and no casings, may too cold for a hatch.
Filed a radio report with 89. 5 The Hawk in Chilliwack as they wanted to do a news story about the garbage dumping in the Chilliwack River Valley.
I am off now to Lake 3 and promise not to use a Gang, well it is no bait anyway so will drag out the fly gear. A report how I do later.
