A Great Combination

Happy Father's Day Everybody!

Karen and I hit a local pothole lake yesterday afternoon. It was a perfect 4 hours. Partly cloudy, 20C and a small chop on the lake. It was a the right conditions to hang a leech and chromie under a strike indicator.  The chromie is about 25 cm below the leech. The action was continuous. The interesting thing for the day was experimenting with depth. We have learned that the most important factor in fishing lakes is depth and not the pattern. Today the smallish fish hit when the strike indicator was 5 feet above the leech. When the indicator was adjusted to 8 to 9 feet, we were into the larger fish. It was about 50% strikes on the leech and 50% of the strikes on the chromie.
