Making Multiple Adjustments
May 25, 2021
Sveinn & his wife Valdis were with me today, and all the way from Iceland! They are in Montreal for 3 years working for a company and loving the Canadian life. They had even joined me this winter on the ice and had a great time. I was sure today would be even better!
With last night’s cold front the water temps definitely dropped and an adjustment was needed to make the fish bite. I didn’t have the lines set for more than a few minutes before a reel fired and Valdis was into her very first walleye. I knew it was an over long before it even neared the boat. She was just elated with the fact that she had even caught a fish! Little did she know that it was just beginning!
We had spent a few hours covering water in the first location and after several adjustments, managed to put 3 keeper eyes in the livewell. Time for our first move!
I decided to change up presentations and try for another species. The first reel to fire went off hard and I knew Sveinn was about to land his first Canadian Northern! After several more, I decided to break out the fly rod as he had requested before the trip. This too didn’t take long before he was battling one on the fly. Along with the pike there were also more walleye and life was good!
Late in the afternoon, I made another move and hit what turned out to be the last stop of our day. By finding warmer water we were able to continue the great fishing, boating more walleye and northerns. Some of them were really good ones too, closing out a perfect day!
Sveinn & his wife Valdis spent an absolutely spectacular day on the water with almost perfect conditions. Loads of fish were landed and a few were even harvested for their dinner. It would be the first time they ever tried walleye and I know they will love it!
The next couple of days look like a wash with the giant winds expected, so I will be taking them off to do some work around the house. I will however be out towards the end of the week and back at it hard! Too many fish out there and plenty of clients to enjoy catching them in the weeks to come! Several open dates are still available as well for anyone to experience some of the best fishing they’ve ever had! I can’t wait to get back out!
