Might head out there again Monday and try some black leech patterns and backswimmers as you suggested :^) Have fun with the toothy critters!

My choices would have been Black Crystal Flash Wooly buggers, or backswimmers. Gonna go hunt Pike on Monday with Scratchy. What were you chucking Ray?

Tried pretty much everything, we each had a couple hits (very subtle ones), but no fish landed. There wasn't much surface activity - only a few rises around the lake. However, it was a beautiful evening, water was calm, winds were light. It was easy kicking to get around the lake. The island must have had 30-40 geese on it, making a huge racket. So, despite the lack of fish, it was still great getting out on the water! Well, we got skunked.
