Eerie on Erie This AM

[Schmick]

Headed out of Burwell at about 8am and the river was dead calm. Hit the open water and da fog, she was some tick! Putted out to 50 fow and set up on 2 riggers and 2 Dipseys. 2-3 foot gentle rollers were not too bad. Marked very few fish and some scattered bait balls near bottom. Surface temp was around 58deg. Trolled out to 60ish and swung back in to try shallower water we had marked a few in on the way out. Ended up landing 2 nice little bows between 45-50 down 40 on the riggers, both on chrome red fins. Off the water by 12:30 with no Pics to be found, though the flies were OUTSTANDING! First outing this year, I can’t complain.

I was kinda wondering with the side spots. Just intently staring at fish ID charts now,

Atlantic salmon or brown trout my guess

Yeah, I suppose the square tail is the give away. I was too anxious to get it on the bbq!
