Lake Pend Oreille

[2knots]

Been wanting to hit this lake and try to catch a big Gerard bow so Dave and I booked with a guide to learn the ropes for 2 days. We rented an AirB&b in Bayview, brought the wives along and made a mini vacation. Temps were cold with lows in either single digits or low teens with highs just below freezing. Guide was great and shared a ton of info on the how, what and where. We ended up with 1 nice bow about 12lbs, had 1 break off after the hit on the DR and caught another 8-9 bows up to about 5lbs. We also got a bull and a western slope cutt, coloring of both was beautiful, I had never seen a bull before. The guide ran 14 rods with the planner boards and DR’s with apex’s, Lyman’s and flies. 1st day all the fish except 1 came on the DR, 2nd day it was just the
Opposite. All fish were released
