Big Oromocto Lake Opening Weekend

The first day of fishing on Oromocto Lake is 01 May. Well I doubt that many made it out that day as it blew hard and rained so I delayed things for 24 hours waiting to see if things would improve. By Saturday morning the rain had stopped and the wind dropped. We were out on the lake by around noon and had rather slow fishing for most of the day. However during the last two hours things picked up with us landing four Landlocked Salmon in a small protected cove where the water temps were about 5 degrees warmer than the main lake. The second day we hit the water by 9AM and fished all day with another four LLS coming into the boat, most fish were in the 16-18 inch range. The water temp varied from 44 - 49 degrees, both days were very nice with a little gusty wind to content with. And when your fishing Big Oromocto and you mange two days of trolling with out running into the MOAB then it's a success whether you landed any fish or not, and you can still fish another day. I put the pics on my Album.

PS - oh yes Dave the fly that I was using was called the Orange Jointed Rapala Fly

Bill I edited this and added some of your photo's, hope you don't mind.

Nice pictures.

I'd say that 2lbs would be a good guess, sizes ranged from 16-18 inches and they were a little on the slim side as the ice had just been gone a week at that point and the LLS will get fatter once they get a chance to eat more. No body care to weigh in on what the MOAB is ?

Was curious Bill....But too polite to ask and did not want
to make a public display of my ignorance. Big Grin Big Grin

Nice fish and nice pictures by the way.

Yes Dave that would be correct, Mother Of All Boulders

Then there is the MOAR - Mother of all Rocks

We just started naming the rocks in the lake that we've tangled with before on the GPS so as to avoid them in the future.

Ah yes...One does not like to run afoul of the dreaded bog onion. Big Grin
Unless it is big enough to put a lawn chair on and fish comfortably.

Great looking fish Bill. Dave, thanks for getting the trivia question correct, I was not even close and lee may have suspened me with my guess.

Hope you have even better luck at West Grand Lake this May, articles are in the mail and you should have them any day now.
