Day 6 - July 6, 2016

This day, we decided to venture further out of Labrador City.  We took some back roads to the back side of Wabush Lake where it narrows.  There was a closed access bridge that went to the IOC mine that we fished around.  We heard about this spot from some locals who said they were catching big lake trout.  This was another spot where we were always successful in catching fish.  Within the first half hour of arriving at this spot, my father and I caught these two lake trout.

On our way back into Labrador City, we decided to stop at our honey hole (The Narrows).  In no time I reeled in this 5.5 pound lake trout.  These fish put up a heck of a fight.  The water is clear and cold and these fish aren't found too deep and were all able to be caught from the shoreline.

Next we decided to head south out of town to the Walsh River.  The views were spectacular and the water was clear.  We could see a number of different size brook trout and ouananiche (landlocked salmon) following our lures and worms.  Unfortunately we weren't able to entice a bite.  We decided that on our next trap to bring our shiner trap and try our luck with live bait.  There were tons of bait fish in the water.
