Imagine the opportunity to catch six different species of gamefish while being pampered at a remote island lodge in Northern Ontario, Canada. Red Pine Wilderness Lodge is that place. As hosts for the last 21 years my wife Janice and I have accommodated many satisfied guests from North America and some as far away as Singapore. Although Walleye is the most popular target, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass Whitefish, Perch and Brook Trout are all available on the 28 miles of Lady Evelyn Lake or the portage lakes that we feature. Check out all the details at www.redpinelodge.com or call the toll-free number to book your next all-inclusive fishing adventure.

Author Name: Nathan
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 1:
Make your grubs, curly tails, dingers, etc last by sliding the grub past the eye of the hook and then stick a toothpick/shaved wood into the eye and cut the ends. This prevents throwing the grub off even after a few hits. Also play with the cutting to change a lure's action. |

REPORT #980. “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
After dumping a ton of rain on the mainland, the remnants of Tropical Storm Stan were hardly noticed as it went by here earlier in the week. In its wake came the first north wind of the season, causing the Sea of Cortez to get grumpy. However, the fish didn’t seem to care and there were plenty of tuna and billfish for the anglers who hung in there. Surprisingly, there were even a few dorado to be found. By yesterday (10/14), the wind had backed off some and the sea had started to settle down. The beach is still dirty from the wind waves and will need a few more days to clean up. There were several larger roosters released this week close to shore somewhere between La Ribera and the Lighthouse.
Our guide Lance Peterson reported: “The wind backed off considerably today (10/14). Just a breeze. Clear skies and warm. Fished inshore with the fly-guys from Cordonnier group. We quickly jigged up some Humboldt squid to use for chum. There were no sardina to be found anywhere, only mackerel. We trolled the ‘hoochie’ a little and a hooked a dorado. One of the guys hooked one of its followers. It was just a little guy, but cool. Then we headed over to Punta Colorado and cast over the rocks. Caught a lot of small roosters, under a pound. There were ten at least. Finished at Punta Arena where I teased up a bunch of hot ladyfish, needles, and more little roosters. Caught a few pompano, too. It was an eight species day.”

Water conditions are still recovering from when we were hit hard last week by remnants of Tropical Storm Stan. However, things are improving daily and should be back to normal by the end of next week. The blue water is still out a long ways, but coming back in to about 25 miles. From the Terrifin Satellite Surface Water Temperature, the 80º water is now at 10 miles, and the 84º water is about 32 miles.
The boats are averaging about one sailfish a day each. Dan Leo, fishing on his private boat Dancin, caught two very nice dorado yesterday. He had gone out with a new electric reel to try some very deep water meat fishing. When they spotted the dorado under some debris, that put an end to the deep water expedition.
Terry Carter, guiding in last week's Baja on the Fly roosterfish tournament, fished with Santiago on the panga Gitana for two days. He caught one sailfish on the fly each day boosting his lifetime total to 102 and one of them was on a 4-weight.
The inshore waters are clearing up fast, but they are not yet back to a normal 82º. They should be in great shape by next week.

Clear skies and no wind. That’s something different! The past few weeks seem like a broken record of threatening weather. The few boats have been out this week found some warm water which was holding a few dorado and YFT. No one was really targeting the marlin or wahoo, but there were rumors of some of both being spotted at the lower end of the Thetis. Before the storms hit, several yachts found enough action to get their scores up in the double digits; hopefully those fish are still hanging out and can be located again. Back in the esteros, slim picking persisted with cabrilla, a few corvina and even fewer grouper. There was a flurry of action under the bridge at the entrance to San Carlos at gray light several days last week producing a pretty good corvina bite for about an hour each morning.

Because of the large clean-up effort after Hurricane Stan, no boats that went out. Also, it will take another week or so for all of the river runoff to get back to their usual levels, thus bringing the blue water back normal distances.
