Leach Lake,
Went to Leach last Friday,gate still closed but I walked in anyway.There were about 4 other people there.I started the day off with choronomids,netted 6 lost 3 times that.Weather was beautiful calm could not ask for a better day.I did notice what they were keying in on,they were rising left and right.They were taking big black ants which I did not bring,story of my life.
June 1
Woke up early today and headed back up to Leach Lake,this time I took some black ants ready for some dry fly action.Well it wasn’t going to be,the wind was just howling.Did not see one fish rise so went back to me choronomid,I chose right.Landed 16 lost just as many,was hoping the wind would stop but that wasn’t going to be.Last Friday my first choice of lakes to go to was not Leach but Long Lake for some browns.The spur road was still blocked with snow,a lot of snow ,it will be Mid June before that lake is accessible.
So plenty of fish before it gets planted later this month. Great... good to know. I look forward to getting up there. What size were fish?
They were all brookies,average size would have been 12 to 14”.Nothing huge but fun all the same.
