Fished the canyon for whitefish this afternoon again. Brought hm. 10 lost 6 at the net. I fished 4 hrs.. The fish would hit in spurts. One hr. I would get 1 or 2, the next 5 or 6. I used my chartreuse fly again.

I gave all the fish to panfisher to smoke, he does an excellent job.

good trip and report. do you just let the bait and fly sit on the bottom or do you drift it?

Check out the culinary delites forum to see them smoked. These were nice big fish.

iwilfish, you drift for them. I call it drag lining. Tie the slinky at the bottom of the main line and about a foot and a half above the weight tie on the fly with a very short leader.
