Hi Folks, Guided one last fishing trip yesterday morning before I leave for Labrador today. I will be gone from Saturday August 13 to Sunday August 21. Heading north to Labrador to fly fish for landlocked salmon, brook trout, pike, lake trout, and white fish. Should be epic. So, yesterday took a young angler spin fishing for smallmouth bass. Water temperature was 71 degrees and the water was low and clear. You could see the fish eat the presentation. Tough not to set the hook prematurely when you see the smallmouth move to eat your presentation. A little bit of on and off rain made for good low light fishing. We landed 9 smallmouth on a 4" Senko swim bait in baby bass. All of the fish were holding in deeper pools causing back and forth amongst down wood and rocks. Still really need rain and it looks like we might get some over the next few days. For hatches, #22-#24 Tricos, #10-#12 Epherons, #18-#20 minor caddis in tan and black, #12 Isonychia, and terrestrials in all shapes and sizes. I will resume my guiding operation when I return to action on Monday August 22. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. Have Fun, Willy
