Big Lake Report or lack of

[Robert Haynes]

Fished day 1 today of my once a year trip to BL. I tried for flounder by 4 corner of old river and nothing. Fish were probably there but my skill level is low. Made a run to grand weir and caught birds working, caught lot of dinks but no keepers. Not enough shrimp at weirs worth working that hard for and not gonna fight the boats to try for reds at weirs. Day 1 of 6 and not a keeper. Rain tomorrow but I have 5 days left. Any advice would help. Reds, trout or flounder. My Dad will fish with me Thursday (weather permitting) and Friday. He is 82 and was hoping to get him on some fish. I see him about once a year so I need to make his 2 days memorable.


Thanks
