Growing up I distinctly remember fishing lakes with chironomids and even with my float tube tied to this individuals, using his fly's (I was like 8), down the same depth, I didn't catch as many fish. Even when I used his rod and he used mine, he'd start out-fishing me with my own rod.
I live in Minnesota and do fish lakes that have em but I almost never catch them when I'm going after musky, bass, and pike. Most of the lakes I fish aren't known as walleye lakes, they just have a few in there. Nonetheless, I've always found it weird that I don't hook into more of them by...
Thanks man.
I see you’ve also been bitten by the bass bug. I love seeing em eat poppers, it gets my blood pumping.
I’ve never fished for largies in eastern Washington. Do the lakes you fish develop a weedline?
Fished a popper for the first time of the season last night for 15 minutes and had a good eat right away but pulled it right out of it's mouth. It always takes me a few fish to get in the rhythym.
This fly got hammered by big pike and some largies the other day over the border in Wisconsin. Lost some material from pike teeth and pliers but it’s mostly all there
Was bass fishing but the pike also liked it
