Always enjoy getting people into their first sturgeon. 6.5ft was todays big one.

Spending some amazing fall fishing up in the Cariboo this weekend: I usually only come up here in summer but this year me and a buddy were able to spend four fishing days up in this beautiful country.

The first day we hit a favourite lake and the two of us landed a dozen each. The fish started off all around 18 inches but as the day carried on the fish got bigger with the last half a dozen fish tipping the scales closer to 4-5 lbs.

The second day was even better with over 25 fish each and all bigger. Started to get into the horsefly strain which was a lot of fun!

Day three we hit our secret lake and man was it outstanding. A local buddy joined us and between the three of us we got into 50 lunkers.

I landed 21 and lost a bunch. All the fish were caught on large black/purple leeches and all between 3-5 lbs. the difference was that these fish all fought extremely hard. Love it when you are out to your backing and your line stretches out across the lake as the fish darts back and forth across the surface. Fishing is so good we decided to stay one more day so stay tuned.
