My good friend Ayr Miller dropped by last weekend. He had just came back from a trip to Calling Lake and the fishing was as good as ever. He proudly displayed a mixed bag of pike, perch, walleye and burbot.
Consider this: I can watch every fish swim up to my hook before it bites, I can see lots of fish throughout the day and I can keep some for the table. That in a nutshell is fishing for lake whitefish.
This spring I was at the Fishing Show in Calgary when I came across a new rod that grabbed my attention. It was the Finesse Ultra Light made by Rapala. I usually don't get too worked up over a rod, but this one was different.
By now the leaves have started to fall, or quite possibly they may have already fallen, completing their one-way trip to the earth. It’s late fall, freeze up is a month away and there’s a hint of winter in the air. This is the Pike’s last hurrah.
They are also called backswimmers and this event can’t be missed. Trout, along with the lesser known and pursued lake whitefish, turn onto water boatman in a big way.
