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.

Great Fish!!! Great Time!! Great Companionship!!
ReplyDeleteWater 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.
