    I used to target whitefish in front the Dam. I used a very long fly rod as they are hard to keep on the line in all that current. The last time I fished up north I fished round whitefish aka Menominee. When the Mayflys hatch if you fish the east side of the bridge in about 25-30 FOW using wax worms. Tight lines great video and a very unique place to fish.

    Huge whitefish so thick that their heads look disproportionate to their body, we call them peanut heads

      Yes, but if you run your line to line connection with a swivel instead it’s just rough on your guides

    This fishery is god awful. Saw two fish caught all day between 20 boats. Drove 10+ hours because of this video and was excited to get an Atlantic. What a waste of time.

      @@Chiefz appreciate the reply. I actually do guide myself and have had many years of experience. I do appreciate that every place is new and has its own tricks. Especially the fly tying set up you guys are running out there.
      But when you spend 12 hours and watch 20 boats net two fish. It’s not an issue that I didn’t catch any. I lost one on a blade bait, trying something different.
      being said, nobody that day at all caught fish and the locals I talk to were boasting about how it’s a world-class fisheries and showed me his best day where he caught one salmon. I didn’t realize a best day there was 1 fish.
      There’s plenty of other places I’ve been through where even if you’re not catching fish at least you have some confidence in the fishery because you get to see everyone else around you catching fish. There was none of that. 95% of the boats came empty-handed and only one guy out of everybody caught two Fish. I just wouldn’t like everyone seems to call it. It’s just regular tough fishery.
      Maybe the timing was wrong, but I was genuinely shocked by how little fish were caught and did not see more than two fish all day swim in or near the tunnels.

      @ZenBJJ10p I can respect that. Not too sure how early you came, but I had a great week up there. Several double digit days between me and my buddy. They were also doing maintenance on the dam killing the flow to 95% of the tubes. If you weren’t there when they were on you definitely weren’t going to catch a fish. Some people knew the schedule where they left them on, some didn’t..
