New levels of fun right? Not. The only thing I can say is sometimes its just best to stay home even if you have an ice house. Last Sunday it was 0°, this Sunday its 40° and raining.
I did do one thing right today being that I was not catching any fish, I took someone with me that could. Today it was Kokanee Salmon that was the subject of our pursuit.
The setup consists of a Swedish Pimple with a short length of line attached below and attached to that is the infamous glowing Rat Fink. Attached to the Rat Fink is a couple of nice plump pink dyed maggots. Now, here is something that I did not know till today courtesy of my son who took the time to read the back of the Swedish Pimple package. The act of, or I should say technique by which you jig your Swedish Pimple is called "pimpling".
My money says that he doesn't pay that much attention to details when he is doing his geography homework.
Now this is a pathetic little scene. This dog will pine at your heels while you are loading the truck or sit a short distance away giving you the look. The "are you leaving me here" look. I try to keep him in suspense till the end. The thing that kills me is that he will absolutely be crushed if you leave him but once he is in the field, if you are not in constant motion he gets bored and starts whining again. And this winter, all of a sudden, if there is not some form of heat nearby its time for a whining tantrum. I can relate but the fact that he weighs 2/3 as much as I and takes nearly as much space puts him at an unfortunate disadvantage when it comes to taking over the fishing digs. Never the less I am still a sucker when I get a high dose of the "look".
Not familiar with a Kokanee Salmon? This is what they look like. They are sort of a strange looking fish, something about those eyes. These are not particularly big ones but they are very tasty. Next to regular sea run Salmon they are my favorite.
