I'm not going to tell

I'm not going to tell you the name of this lake, Because I've gotten to many phone calls from some of the locals around here that would like to keep some of the this lake as a hidden jewel.

What I will tell you is it up just a little over 3700 ft. and just under  11 acres water temp 63 air temp at 9:30 was 58 and at 4 PM 70 cloudy at times but windy all day.

I started out using my intermittent line but soon turned  to my type 6 sink line the fish were staying in the 20 to 28 foot of water and away from the shore. according to Gary's fish finder. I put on a #16 Chromimid and fished it strate down and with in no time my rod was almost pulled  from my hand. A 17 inch football shaped Bow. and soon after my line was back in the water a repeat only just a bit smaller. My third fish hit so hard it broke the fly off. I retied on another and didn't get a hit for a while.
Gary was using his go to fly that he uses everywhere. ZugBug and he catches lot of fish on it. I' myself put on a #14 Solf Hackle Peacock and started kicking around I got a few hits on it but no hook ups. Scale down to a #16 and tryed again. This was working and after many fat Bows in the net by 12:30 and tired legs from kicking  I dropped anchor and stayed in one spot until close to 2 only picking up a fish or two. I pulled anchor and put my back to the wind and kicked pass the landing as far as I could and let the wind blow me back with three more fish for the day. We had a awesome day.

  1. Great Fish!!! Great Time!! Great Companionship!!
    Water temp allowed for a better fight out of the fish with less chance of hurting the fish.
    Zugbug is a good searching pattern in various sizes from 10 to 16. I also used a soft hackle with good success.
