Spring 2021 Mack Days on Flathead Lake

<< < (5/5)

YakHunter:
Very nice!  I got to spend four days at Flaming Gorge but only managed to pick up four Kokanee and one laker.  I did get a really nice hook up on a 2 oz bucktail in 100 ft of water but he broke me off.  It was a fun couple of minutes.   

YakHunter:
I see each of you has a wind "sock" up front.  Help me out with why your group utilizes them?

It's a wind direction indicator, to help us pedal directly into the wind so we can stay stationary over the bottom when jigging, with the assistance of the GPS track on our fish finders.  See https://www.northwestkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=18212.msg195603#msg195603.
