Spent a good day at the RDR yesterday. Some of the new spots I found earlier really paid off. Caught a ton of walleye, well over 20 for sure. Only managed one rocky white but it was so fat! Probably a female full of eggs. Big fight of the day, had a 7 wt rod and streamer. Could not control this fish and could not lift it. Lots of runs out into the current and back. Even in the slack water it felt powerful. After 5 minutes or so, found out why. A respectable pike hooked directly in the side. No wonder. After a quick pic and a good revival, she swam off nicely.
No wind in the morning, great. Hurricane force in the afternoon...but hey, it's AB.
Fantastic day out!
Hog white
