[Lake Kookanusa]

Dude park the boat along a deep shoreline and put a hook with corn on the bottom of the lake, and wait like 10 seconds. SO MUCH WHITEFISH! So much fun to catch too. I haven't seen whitefish like those though. They have a pretty large mouth compared to the ones I'm used to catching in the bow.

OK so for some of us noobs here, what exactly do you do during this event. Walk down the river picking up garbage?

[Can't Hook Into Fish]

Lately I've been getting aggravated. I show up to my favorite spot @ 6am, pull out my favorite clouser minnow and start casting. Now its a deep pool I'm fishing and there is always a ton of hungry fish in the morning. I'm using a floating line with split shots to bring the streamer even deeper. So I cast across and retrieve downstream in fast snips. I get 3 very hard hits my first 3 casts, none of which results in a fish, then the fish get spooked and the fishing is done. This has happened twice. I have a hook sharpener and its sharp as :$*%&: . I met some fishermen around fish creek that were using the same streamer and for the 4 hits he had he landed 3 fish. What am I doing wrong here!?!? Should I retrieve slow or fast, big or small snips? I used to do this morning routine while spinner casting and it was very efficient. Any suggestions?

 

Edit: Could I maybe put the split shots on the tip of the fly line essentially making it a sink tip?

Hey! That's me in the pic there asking about your fly selection, haha. Beautiful fish too!
