Shuswap fishing derby this weekend

[Bigdad013]

Off to the derby, hoping to win enough to cover expenses at the least. Last I heard 50 boats entered, should be a good one.

Good luck BD. I have landed some very nice fish there. My dad and I used to fish out there quite a bit. His theory is that fish always look up for their food. So if he spotted fish crusing at 60 feet then he would always set the downriggers at 50.

Apex with a flasher 2 to 4 feet in front of it. pearl white with gray or white/blue or white/green are the main colors we used. I would also try some minnow flies with a stinger hook. Not far down but a long ways out. Usually we would put on a 2 or 3 oz banana weight. That was enough to drop it down 10 or 15 feet while trolling, depending on the speed of your troll.

Back from the derby, all around good fun. I was just out of the prizes, but my fishing partner got 3rd in the rainbow category with a 23.5". Caught lots of fish, just didn't get into some really big ones. Thats fishing
