Frank Lake:

Hello, Bernard!
Nice to hear from you. Yeah, we had a comfortable
trip back and I am so sorry because holiday is over.
Here is our statistic:
• 191 pikes, with the biggest measering 46"
• 62 lake trouts, with the biggest measering 36”
• 5 whitefish, with the biggest measering 21"
• 4 graylings, with the biggest measering 10"
That makes a total of 262 fish in two weeks. Not so
bad, BUT, fishing for trouts was difficult, because
they swam in deeper water much earlier than in former
years. We found them in a depth of 60 to 80
feet at the beginning of June !!! The pikes grew up
since my last visit at Frank Lake in 2002. We catched
many pikes between 32" and 40". I think that little
lake trouts are best food for them. In 2002 there
were much more little lake trouts to see and to catch
than in 2005. The upper statistic would be different,
if we trolled much more time for lake trouts. But it
was an amazing thing to cast for pikes on sight. So
we spent much more time for it, as you can see on
the figures of the statistic.
O.k. thats it. I send some pictures of fish and nice pictures
shot from the aircraft. The blood on the mouth
of the lake trout is my blood !!! from unhooking the
trout. I released it unharmed.
Best regards to your whole family!

10 Mile:

Well, how many fish is a
tough question because we
caught so many. We caught
50 plus lakers every day. One
day we kept track and averaged a laker every 5 minutes
over three hours. Biggest was maybe 8 pounds.
I'm not sure how many pike because they were all
incidental catches as we never targeted them --
maybe 6 to 8 per day. Largest pike was also aroundeight pounds.
A lady from Environment called and asked some
questions about our cougar sighting. I was pleased
to provide her the limited data we had. That is still
something I think about a lot -- a real treat.
We hope the rest of the season goes well.

Coghlan:

Bernard- I called a few of the guys from the Coghlan
trip and got an estimated number of each species.
Grayling- well over 500- I got the largest, 50 cm,
weight? - Hot lure for me was 1/8 oz. cast master,
fluorescing red.
Northern Pike, about 100 or so at the far end of lake,
Frank boated one 90 cm, 13 lbs. (not every one
fished for pike) Lake Trout -Estimated at between
150 and 200, mostly casting the shoal drop-offs with
spoons. I boated a trout 83 cm, 20+lbs (trolling a 7"
yellow Bomber B-26 with 3 oz. weight)
Others boated 8 trout trolling that weighed in the
mid to high teens.
Later,
Al
