| Day 1, just let me get my words down, it was extremely windy, hampering my
planned fishing, first i shore fished around a bridge with traditional rapala
and jointed rapala, one bass surfaced but missed the lure, i then took the
canoe out into the wind, lord help me, quite a feat with an acquired stiff neck
to boot ( no pun), caught one small bass and one real nice lunker using my hank
parker rod, the lunker was jumping out of the water like it was going straight
thru the pearly gates, but i released it, it was caught on a plastic worm,
waves were rollers and not white caps and i was fearful i would lose my gear on
a tipover, i was wearing a pfd (always) due to the chance of injesting a lot of
(cold) water on a tipover, summary one nice bass caught but i had to really
work for it, BTw this lake is not known for bass fishing, day 2 report to
follow |

| Day 2
waited all day, very disappointing to say the least, this lake is not known for
smallmouth bass fishing, only tied into a small smallmouth and some fair size
rock bass, primarily using a jointed rapala, rock bass have a prickly dorsal
fin, not a sought after species at all, quite possible to get a regional or
world record with doubtful cash value, next day returning to the spot where i
tied into the lunker. day 3 report to follow. |

| Day 3
fish at the same spot as day 1 as said at the end of day 2, tied into two small
bass, one rock bass and one lunker, had another heavy strike but lost due to a
snafu with my drag, used back reeling to land the lunker, daiwa reel best
suited for back reeling, the lunker hit the side of the canoe like a mini
version of Jaws, not a real productive trip on day 3, the lake is not known for
bass fishing, caught the lunker on a ribbon tail worm , scenery is great and
the bugs are a biting, i have a pattern now for day 4, day 4 report to follow |

| day 4
predicted 50km winds and unsettled weather, opted to shore fish using the
pattern established in day 3, shore fishing is better than no fishing, fished
near an low slung bridge, fishing is suppose to be good but difficult to
establish the movement of the fish, got bit alive by bugs, winds calmed so went
out in canoe, tied in and landed one nice bass, no multiple catches of bass for
this lake, day 5 report to follow. |

| encounters
had a half size hound dog bark and chase after me, it was wearing a collar
indicating some ignorant owner allowed it to run at large, secondly, two deer
(doe) ran in front of vehicle, had to break hard, no crash or pile up, usually
it is a doe and fawn but why 2 doe(s), thirdly, bear signs everywhere, bear
problem is your own problem so be a alert and wary. |

| Day 7
Went out am and found a pocket of bass, a deep hole that the anchor rope
wouldn't reach, bass after bass but no lunker, the question is where is the
lunkers, in pm caught two nice bass with plastic worms in the lily pad areas,
btw in the early am i was fishing under a low slung bridge and heard a light
footed animal of about 90lbs passs over, figure it was a wolf, day 8 report to
follow |

|
| Day 8
tried usual spots but no significant tie in to bass, the bass were not residing
in the deep hole found on day 7 Day 9
had 3 significant hits with a jointed rapala, it was at a certain time and
spot, this establishes another pattern, also observed bait used by another lad
and that establishes yet another pattern. going back for a few days more fishing and will combine the patterns
discovered, reports to follow, thanks for the encouragement |
