RVR, the far side

[Mark B.]

Began my annual fall / winter pilgrimage to the eastern shore wading / casting the Yo Zuri.

A week ago, caught only a smallie.

Yesterday, caught & released: 18” rainbow & 24” rainbow (“He was a big fat pig of a fish.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_YaSAZqcjA)

Had 2 other, smaller rainbows on, that jumped & got off.

Sounds good, Mark.

I never tried wading there. Last time I went there I noticed how much it would help getting past the shallow parts. Any advice on wading because I noticed some of the banks of RV are very muddy.

I used to hit RV a lot when I started to fish but pretty much gave up on it once i noticed how fun the rivers were. Sounds like the time to get back at it.

Last fall / winter the water level was way down. I tried wading, & sunk in the silt almost to my knees. I didn’t go back.

Now, that the water level is up some, the wading is fine.

Awesome report! Which Yo Zuri model were you throwing? I'm always looking for new lures to try.

Went for the first time this year.

10' ice shelf from the shore to open water, on which were a series of regularly spaced volcano-like ice structures (one was 5' tall). The same area where I've caught the most trout, this season.

A bit farther north, I was able to traverse a 6' ice shelf (no volcanos) & wade open water. No fish caught.

2 eagles way high,...........& an immature eagle winging it low, a few feet above the water, about 150' feet offshore.
