here is a video on Travers I find where they are rising works .. or about a foot off bottom so if I am in 10fow I like 8ft to 9ft down … watch these videos on Lake Whitefish ..

First thing in the morning and quite often at the spill way you will see the whites rising up for bugs. Many a fly fisherman has had a great morning hooking into the whites with a fly rod.

Do you guys know what sort of a bottom a guy ahould be targetting early season for whites? I saw in the video its rocky - is that a good go to?

Fish out from the inlet you will see tons of guys fishing around 22-25ft. Red wire worms under a bobber. You can PM me for more details such as spots and more in depth info.

Happy? Is it you? Did ya finally dial them in? Sometimes it's better if you can't see them. Then it's just fishin by feel and instinct instead of all the other thoughts in your head messing with ya. A whitefish is just a glorified minnow but very selective. .if you can catch one you can catch them all. Glad you finally found success and very fitting it isn't sylvan or gull.

[happyfisher]

yea!!! tnx all!!! Ill try this at sylvan too!!! gunna tie some new WW now...lol!!!
