Quick note from one of our regular fishing guests, Bob Wade, from this past weeks fishing:
  The fish were more eager yesterday anchored in the shallows 5-6' but I had to make very long casts which seemed to help not spook the fish. They were still holding on the baits before committing but I am sure that will change at the end of this month, and get more aggressive like last year.
A couple I caught carried the float quite a distance so I am guessing they were starting to compete for the bait, again, much like last fall. They were banging the floats on the surface again which was cool to see. I think I will spend more time running the Rapala's and spinners along the weedlines and flats.
 There were massive ones jumping, just a matter of time before I land the giant one!
 

Fishing pressure was light this past bit, but we have had a few nicer rainbows caught, and seems like lots of smaller ones are coming in. The fish seem to be shallow feeding above the weedbeds, and fishing off the banks is better than in the boats. Small dark leach patterns have been the best fly, but the Pumpkinhead has fooled some better fish as well. Casting small spoons or spinners have been working as well. Water temps are still warm for this time of this time of the year, right around 48F. Looks like we will be seeing an extended fall fishing season this fall.

Nice trout Janet!

Fishing has been slow this apst weekend, with the just the occasional rainbow being caught by trollers, weather made it tough with big winds, drizzle and rain. Today the weather broke, with the winds slowing a bit, with the sun out warming things up. A couple of our guests reported fishing picking up today, with a few trout in the 3 to 3.5 lb range. The Pumpkinhead fly seems to be the best producer, and active fish are right along the weed lines feeding.

High winds and unsettled weather the past while has kept angler pressure on Tunkwa light. Some much needed steady weather and more seasonable, cooler nights will help drop the water temperature and get the rainbows feeding! Of interest, I checked the stomach contents of a rainbow on the cleaning table this afternoon, and was surprised to see it crammed full of cased caddis, and large sedge pupae, still in there cases!

Bob's nice fish from Monday evening.

Fishing has picked a bit for some guests.
Brent landed this beauty rainbows yesterday, that pulled the scales down to just over 5 lbs, nice fish!
