Lake Temagami, Using a camera -2012

[steelheader]

Our trip last week was severely hampered by weather ,but we made some new observations with the use of a fish cam.

In jan and feb we fish deep water but in mid march we fish 28 fow between temagami town and the hub.

The one good day we were able to fish was friday..Set up insta hut ,put camerea down and ....along came the whities and a few trout ,

The shoreline was cliffs and boulders ; you would think rocky bottom...NO.. it was silt ,enough that when your spreader hit bottom it all but disappeared..

When the whities came in they were "Blowing" along the bottom ,I guess pushing water thru their gills to expose what lay under the silt , I'm going to try bending my spreader bars up.

The trout would cruise around and drive me nuts but although the swedish pimple brought them in I think it was the twisters and mr squirts that they were homed in on ..

All in all we caught 8 fish ..but i think perhaps we will fine tune our presentations next year after the camera brought new ideas of presentation to light........For what its worth....Bent rods

Great post steelheader. Seeing what the fish are doing on the camera compared to watching them on the sonar would be a definite plus. I wish we had a camera while we were up there.

I missed my camera....that i used to have for fihing Temagami as well.....

it's a game changer on that water body.

far as the silt goes, i have found that did not bother the wf that much at all when picking up a spreader.and we did what you intend to do, but the level ones still outperformed in the end

I want to see a monster walleye come in for a look one day though
