Nice report. I suspect it might take a bit more than 1000 casts with a caddis behind a bubble to get a newton tiger - especially by the dam. Of all the tigers up there that I have tangled with (and that is a respectable number) I have never even had any follow any where near the dam much less a tangle with one of those beautiful beasts.
While it is possible to get one anywhere at anytime doing anything, generally speaking a fish like that has a larger menu agenda to fill and is looking in places for a bigger palate payoff for its energy expense. That fish can be fickled and finicky and particularly picky. Also bank fishing for them might not be the best place for your 1000 cast adventure.
You also might consider a bit more robust gear to keep one long enough on the line to see what took all of your hardware.
But thanks for those recent update photos - am going up yonder to get some musky time in the nearest of futures.
By the way - my best tiger fishing happens when it is actually raining.
