Default Pigeon Lake report

Well, dock was in last weekend. Went out last two weekends, and have been fishing there for many years, but have never seen it as slow as this year. From the looks of everyone else, we weren't the only ones. Filled our B tags---not very fat--but very healthy. Any idea why the action is so slow? Usually early on is the best action.

The fly hatch usually coincides with slower fishing.
