A week on Rouge

With no customers on Rouge this week, and having watched it fish steadily for the past three weeks, i was gagging to get down there and have a few out myself. The lake holds so many surprises, and has a real character, even though i’ve fished it countless times, i still always look forward to wetting a line there.

And finally

Now that our season is upon us (the first guests at Etangs Des Papillons arrive today), it’s time to pull off the lake and hang up my rods for a while…well, a few days at least.

I fished my last session on Rouge on Tuesday night and had another 4 runs. Of these, one broke my hooklength with an ease that suggested catfish, another was certainly a catfish judging by the thick slime deposited on my leadcore, and the other two produced these lovely carp…

A couple more

After a blank on Thursday night, where i got snapped up by a catfish (to be expected on light mono hooklengths) and pulled out of another fish, i made amends early on Friday evening.

The other rod was placed where i had caught my last fish and baited with 10 freebies and a couple on a stringer.
