Outstanding pre-spawn bite on Spirit. Found fish all over the typical spots- boulders and gravel transitions off Big Stoney, Little Stoney, and Red Nose Point(s). Started with a Jerkbait, but changed to football jigs and found success. Fish were deeper than expected. Slow dragging followed by aggressive hop produced the most strikes.
