BCIII,
You know why you did so well right? It is because of your dad's hat. I love it!!
That's awesome that you were able to get some that will be some honorable memories for years to come.

Sounds like a fun trip. Eight straight days of fishing, how fun is that!

Pretty stupid , however, that this site makes people add a disclaimer at the end of each post appologizing for keeping fish or assurances that fish were released.

Keep up the good work. I fished there this last weekend and had very good success at Spinney in Buffalo Cove For trouskis and pike.

THanks for the comments.... as far as conditions report... This was about 3 weeks ago.... Trout at Spinney were from 17-25 FOW for best action. Mornings of course were best but afternoon picked up also. Days that it was glass for water, it was tough fishing. Days with a ripple was best, days with hurricane winds, you just wondered how stupid you were being on the lake. Tube jigs have been the hot spot.... at Spinney... 11Mile was more of the HD's and #5 mepps.... Fish were hanging deeper at 11Mile, of course 3 weeks ago... some things could have changed. We were dead sticking Fresh Water Rainbow colored 7" tube jigs using waves on the water as a natural motion..... It was cool as hell. We were about 14 feet of water and you could see the northerns just hammer the tube jigs.... Weeds are probably pretty high now. I am not stingy when it comes to sharing hot spots..... If you have a boat,.... head to the North Shores and about 150-200 yards from the restrooms... Stay in between both restrooms and just drift, if current is to fast then drop N drag an anchor. Jig it like ice fishing and hold on to your britches. Trully a fun challanging way to fish cause you cannot see anything. White, rainbow,coffee, pumpkin tube jigs with 1/4 oz jig heads.

You should go visit your dad in Idaho during the fall and try to get into some clearwater steelhead or in the early summer for some Snake River king salmon. Just sayin!

Thanks for sharing a well documented trip. It's always cool to hear about the family ties in fishing.

Did he get you started fishing?

BiggieSmalls,

For the most part he did.... Early early years. We used to fish the Big Horn River in Montana quite a bit growing up, not to mention Puget Sound and the Callowits river in Washington for Steelhead and Silver Salmon. His health has dropped a bit so its a matter of taking advantage of everything now, rather then wishing what you could have had.
