Fish Freak

Well I've been out at the notty about a dozen times now trying various techniques in a few different locations. I have seen a few browns and rainbows flopping on the water, but haven't been able to seta hook yet. I have tried just about every varriation of dry's that match the hatch, to nymphs or all sorts and atleast 25 streamer patterns. The water has been really high and soupy. really tough conditions. The only fish that I have seen get pulled out of the water thus far are suckers and a few mud puppies. All have been caught on worms and sinker rigs. I'm starting to think that the conditions are just not going to give up a fish. If any one has any specific techniques that have turned results, please let me know. I'm willing to give it another go. Out side of that, it looks like it's time to migrate north of the notty to start targeting the northern lake trouts while the spring run is still going.

Well, I was out again at the notty last weekend with little luck. I finally hooked up but only on some suckers using egg patterns. Pink were the only hits. I'm going to hit the bench tonight to get tying some blue winged olives and grey stone fly patterns. I saw some really small stone fly's in the water last weekend. the weather was so brutal though the chances were slim to begin with. Hopefully the weather's better.

I'll let you all know if I have any luck and share some patters.

So I'm heading out to the notty in Angus again. I have been there a few times now with no luck yet. Does anyone have any suggestiongs on fly's that they are taking. I have tried a variety of nymphs, really small dry's and a few streamers. I'm going to try some egg patters and plan to through some larger pink wolly's. I've heard that some take on the them. If you have any other feedback, let me know. I would love to set hook for the first time this year on Saturday.
Thanks

I'm planning to go look for a hole tomorrow. I will let you know if I can find anything.
If you know of any holes, let me know.

Live Target Smelt, best I have ever seen for Pike. I live on the Holland River by Bradford... They inhale them.
Tried them up in Nippissing and they smashed them there too.
