Report on slip bobber with double dropper fly combo on Calling Lake Whitefish.
Tried a bead head nymph on the bottom and the mayfly emerger in size 10 on the top about 18 inches apart.
LOTS of big (1.5 inch) mayflies, lots of dead spinners on the surface, should have been easy, right?
Tried in 8 FOW from top to bottom of water column. Did not work.
Tried in 20 FOW from top to bottom of the water column. Did not work.
Tried everything in between. Did not work.
Nothing worked on the whitefish, and clearly there were fish in the top 1/3 of the water column on the sounder.
I won't quite give up yet. Perhaps a wire worm alone is the ticket, but the mayfly nymph patterns are a bust for now.
