Swan Lake – Fall 2009
Spent the past few days up at Swan Lake – and was the fishing on!
While the numbers weren’t quite those of years gone by, the size of the fish and the fight they put on hasn’t waned too badly!
The fish that I caught ranged between 14″ and 29″ – with the average fish between 18″ and 20″
Had some typical end of fall weather – Saturday there was a wind warning for the area, which made for some interesting water! At least I know how my pontoon boat behaves in 2′ swells and whitecaps ;^)
A mink leech seemed to be the fly of choice this trip – Don Anderson had a version that he was using – I tied up some that were very similar to a rabbit zonker – and they were very durable and very effective!
