Chesterfield 10-20-2012

Rick and I went to Chesterfield a week after I had fished it. We fought the wind most of the day, but was able to hook into a few nice ones.

 

 

After a little break we decided to wade out, and cast, this technique actually worked very well.

I made a run up to Chesterfield for the first time since I fished it last spring, and it did not disipoint me, as you will see in the pictures below. I went by myself. The pictures were taken using the the timer on the camera that was mounted to the frame of the boat.

This is looking west, but the sunrise colored the sky from east to west.

 

 

What this fish lacked in length, it made up for in girth.

Bruce was going to be fishing in Idaho over the weekend, so Rick, Tori and I desided to meet up with him at Chesterfield. Tori (from work) had never been to Chesterfield so we threw her boat in the trailer, and she followed us up. We were hoping for a good damselfly hatch in the afternoon, but it never materialized. It was a beautiful day to be on the water, but it was also very hard to get the fish to co-operate.

Notice all the snow still on the mountains.

A fatty to Bruce's net.

Stomach pump revealed a leech, chronimid, and a half digested damsel nymph.

I pulled this damselfly out of the water as it swam next to my boat.

Bruce's two for dinner.

Tori kicking back.

Time to head for home.

After our last trip to Chesterfield Sam and I were ready to give it another try, this time we wanted to get an earlier start, so we left home at 4:30 am, and arrived at the water’s edge at 7:30 am just before sunrise. We were surprised when Bruce arrived about 30 minutes later.














The first bay I fished was full of these Ducks.












I pumped the throat of the first fish I caught and found it had been eating blood worms, notice the fly in the second and third pictures that imitates the blood worms. I’m not sure what the little bugs are, they look like ticks to me.














These are some of the fish I caught, no big ones this trip for me.














Bruce had the hot rod this trip, catching the most and biggest fish.














Sam caught several nice fish, including some while bonging with a blood worm.














This was the maiden voyage of the new boat.













Watch this video to get an idea how strong these fish are.
