I got to the river at about 7 AM. I was only fishing for about 20 minutes when I hit my first fish. It was about a 8 lb buck. I kept it just because I havent brought many home lately. 5 more casts hit another this time another buck a little larger than the first. I released this on in hope of a bigger brighter fish. In the next hour I landed 2 more fish 1 probably around 15 lb but dark. I lost the jig I had been using and had to find another one that would work so I had a gap of near an hour without a fish. I put on a pink white and purple jig and first cast...bobber down! I lost this one but 2 casts later hit another buck about 10 lbs. It was cold and snowing and I had things to do so I kept it and left. Great day on the skook!!
I didnt see many other people getting much but it was a great day for me!!

i was on the skook today at the corner hole from about 8am til about 11. I caught 1 and lost 2, the one I caught was a little darker than your darker one so I let her go. It was much slower today than saturday and especially thursday but there are a lot of fish in the system they were rolling all over the place by me
