Despite the Rain, A Big Fish

DATE: Tuesday, 6/7/2005

TIME: 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM

WEATHER: Low 40s to high 40s, cloudy, rain

WATER CONDITIONS: Clear, temperature unknown

LOCATIONS FISHED: Quetico Wilderness, Ontario, Canada—Basswood Lake

HATCH: None

ROD USED: Winston 9’ 7-weight BL5 Joan Wulff Favorite

FLIES USED: Root beer Gitzits

OTHER: It is raining almost constantly, and cold; will this rain ever quit? Despite the rain, we fished today—it was either fish and be cold, or stay in camp and be cold! With no success on popping bugs, I suggested Ed cast a root beer colored gitzit with a sinking tip, and he had moderate success. Then, a 6-pound smallmouth inhaled the fly and Ed landed the first big fish of the trip.
