Today the Mercury Marine Destination starts us on Lake Ontario near St. Catharines, then up to Cochrane in northern Ontario.
First, Salmon fishing can be a load of fun, but vast open deep waters give them room to hide. Attractors play an important part of drawing them in, then it's up to the lure. Flies are a popular technique and Charlie takes this to the next level to ensure a solid hook up. Then, a run north in the Ram for a fly in with Cochrane Air Services. It's always a treat to get on lightly fished waters, but this technique is sure to open your eyes for your next Walleye trip, especially on tricky heavily stained waters. Flashers and flies for Salmon, and dark water Walleye.
