I typed a big long report twice and lost it before i could post it!
heres the short version
had an awesome time on my first trip to fish big lake. big thanks to Paul and Jude for thier hospitality and especially for Paul and his family for making feel so welcome in their home!
the conditions in the morning were horrible. we only managed to put a few trout in the boat. as the afternoon wore on the birds started working and fish were slung in the boat. we finished the day with 20 trout, 6 reds and one flounder. I managed to catch a cajun slam on the flyrod! I caught the red and flounder on a purple and gold slider and the trout on a pink and chartreuse clouser minnow. thanks again Paul and Jude, looking forward to my next trip on Big Lake
btw i was upset, i didnt see any pilgrims and our drift was never cut off!
maybe next time!
oh and if you are gonna fish for reds with a nemire spoon, take the hook protector off, they hook up better :)
