Dick & I arrived on Twin Otter on the 24th for 7 days fishing. On the 3rd day we hiked to Burton’s Pond and released a Pike each and we also caught several large brook trout in the 3 to 6 pound range including a double hook up. Dick’s magic fly was a bed head – looked like a little brook trout pattern. I used a yellow zoo cougar. Our guide Edwin located a spot with rising brook trout. We caught brookies on olive wolf patterns. Very large versions on the flies. The dry fly was cast out away from the boat and allowed to sit motionless until a fish hit it or it needed to be cast again.
At the end of the day we picked up a few more trout for a total of 17 trout boated!
Our final trip to Burton’s (later in the week) we released 10 nicely coloured (3 to 7 pound range) brookies!
We shared the Lodge with many friendly people from Newfoundland and enjoyed their company.
Edwin is a great guide and his flies were small master pieces (especially his brown bog).
Roseann provide tasty meals everyday. Her wanna bread is second to none.
Thanks to the Igloo Lake staff for a great adventure and my largest brook trout every!
