Oh she can be a finicky one.
Spent the day exploring the river NE of the city. After deciding finally on a bridge, we started trying.
One pike for one buddy 5 minutes in gave us hope.
Then nothing.
Tying jigs while sweating proved to be too much of a chore. Couldn't get the knots tied.
Switched to spoons while another buddy threw minnows.
Still nothing.
5 hours later and more sweat to fill a truck bed, fish number two for buddy number one.
But a wee pike.
I got Rapalas bigger than that, but I'd settle for one that size.
As the sun faded, fished danced all around us but couldn't get any to commit.
And No the friend with the minnows saw nothing either.
The NSR was beautiful, nice slow moving water, but another failed excursion.
Better luck next time???
