TR- Toothy Hunt
Spent the afternoon trying for tooths (pike and musky) on the Big
River. Waded parallel to the streambank casting to likely looking ambush points. Only got a couple splashes in 4 hours of fishing, both on big Divers. I tied up some Hyper-whistlers hoping they'd cast better on the 10 weight. They did but its still a lot of work using the heavy rod, I was bushed at the end. Just before I left I unlooped the steel leader I was using and tied on 3 feet of 6lb. Maxima and attached a Root Beer Ice Chenille bugger. Promptly caught a nice smallie, which was much redder than they normally are in the Wisconsin and which also had no trouble putting a nice bend in the 10 weight. Was the reddish color a seasonal adaption to leaves on the river bottom? Shortly thereafter it began to rain with a vengeance and I beat a retreat home. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...MG_0147a-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...MG_0149a-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...MG_0151a-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...MG_0152a-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...MG_0153a-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../IMG_0155a.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...MG_0157a-1.jpg hth GeoC
