I so nearly headed to Airfield Lake, but decided to take a drive around Meadow Lake first. Much to my surprise, there were only two anglers fishing, so I thought I’d better take a closer look around.
My choice of swim was based largely on which way the wind was blowing. I hadn’t seen a thing, and generally, I prefer not to know how the other lakes on the syndicate are fishing. Otherwise, I’m too easily tempted, especially when I need to focus on one lake rather than two.
I like to make at least one trip to Meadow Lake in September and October, just to get an understanding of how it’s fishing before I spend the winter here. It’s all about building a picture, watching the water and getting a feel for what might be happening beneath the surface.
