Notes

Went to Chestermere lake as I find Glenmore resevore difficult to fish. Used Eagle claw 5 in 1 travel rod, spinning mode.
Third fish was very large and cut the line like scissors, clean cut. Yes I forgot to put on a wire leader so I lost my wobbler. Thankfully I had others.

The forth fish somehow took off the hook from the lure, seems the split ring failed. So I put on a #8 Fine of diamonds and caught two more before hunger drives me from the water. As usual. Next year, going to target Yellow perch. Supposed to be in BC too.
