It was indeed as I took a friend and his son along with 2 vistors from Alberta and they were fishing 4 rods and managed to hook up with 5 fish with a 26 and a 24 brought into the net.
When I was not casting and tying up leaders I tried my hand at fishing for pike minnows and connected to a strange looking fish. Pictures of three fish to follow if Rodney has time to post.
River was rising ( rain up North) with visibility not the best but good enough to catch some fish. Lots of debris too that made checking the lines often to clear them.
Another angler hooked a monster and worked his way down the bar before jumping into a friend's boat to make chase. They got close to an anchored boat who pulled up but then ran into the line with the line apparently getting tangled in the boat and then the operator cut the line.
Said he did not know there was a fish on.
It was either a 50 plus fish, a sturgeon or was foul hooked, unfortunately we will never know. I was sure hoping to get a photo to share with you all.
