TGIF I was supposed to have company today but that got cancelled so I figured I may as well hit the river. It was up almost to spring levels and I did ok.
No suckers still, only one for me all summer! But I did manage to land 6 Walleye, 2 of whom I could have had for dinner but I didnt , also one of those long lost Saugers, Havent caught one for a few years now! a nice fat 19 incher. Then I hooked what I thought at first was a big river pike because it didnt break the surface til shallow water, then I was very happy to see it was a 40 inch dino, one more down, 6 to go
I then hooked and lost another sturgeon,. no mistaking that one, but again I lost a nice one. Im thinking hard and I think its because I have been using 30 pound mono for my weight line, and its giving them enough leverage on snags to pull the hook, thats the only thing I can think of. the bottom where Im fishing changed after runoff this spring and there seems to be a bunch of junk spotted around the run. So tomorrow I call rematch, and Im going to lighten up the weight line a good bit and make it easier for them to just break it off.
the river dropped 5 or 6 inches in 4.5 hours hopefully that Calgary rain and the water shutoff brings it back up again. all in all a great afternoon. I did see a few more dinos jumping and one was definitely a gooder
