At one point I threw down the rod, gabbed a paddle and started swinging, there were so many fish in the air I was hitting them on the fore and back stroke. I saw some swimming backwards so they would fit in the pile better. Around 5 PM the river was absolutely alive with fish, hooked into one, raised another, had him come back twice and had a number of good butts, tried nearly everything they seem to favour a green/white bomber but not too anxious about that fly either. Did pick up a nice 2 ½ pound trout, course the season closed a few days ago and he told me so, back he went.
We had a West wind all day didn’t drop to around 6PM which didn’t help. But if you stay at it long enough there is the odd salmon around that is going to take. We some clients in for the next few days so will see if some dedicated fishing will produce anything. By the way we are getting a lot of short notice bookings which is really frustrating for us as we want to please potential clients. The September weekend special rate ($239.99) with complimentary wine has been a success and we may try it again in the future.
If anyone is considering a Christmas in the Country, or any snowmobile clubs looking for bookings, let us know early, we are considering closing the cottage December to March 2009 if we don’t have bookings lined up.
