Kamloops day 2 Jacko Lake

6*9*15   5AM
I guess that nobody gets up early but me!! I have fired up my Camp Chef boiled water did the dishes and made my spot of tea, took a walk around the park.
Just before 6 CHOP-CHOP-CHOP-CHOP I'm getting them up time to build a fire have some breakfast and go fishin.
After a hearty breakfast of eggs, hash browns, and sausage, coffee and OJ. A few bug exchanges, and equipment adjustments.we head out.

Jacko Lake 9am   water temp. 64
 We watched some big cruiser working the launch area, while getting ready.

We arrive the parking has 6 or 7 rigs parked and one was from Washington. As we get ready the guy from WA come out of the water hauling a 7-8 lbs bow up to his camper.

The conversation starts about the fishing and we find out he is from Bellingham and has been up there for 9 days.
 Some how the Boobie fly came up and and he told us that the Boobie fly would not  work on the Fraser strain of rainbow but it will work on the Kamloops rainbows and this lake had both.
    So the challenge is on and how can you tell which is a Fraser Bow and a Kamloops Bow. Who knows and we really don't care as long as we are catching them, I'll do the research later.

Gary played with his Boobies for a while. I think just about all of us did for at least a while.
I went out with my three rods as usual. While most everybody worked there way around to the right of the launch.
   I headed straight out across the bay using my intermittent  line pitching a size 14 Damsel nymph Picking up a fish deep in the weeds.  On the third fish and a larger fish at 18inchs  I used my pump to check to see what it was feeding on. Mostly Chironomids and small lots of brown # 18 a few black # 16.
I worked my way into some deeper water set up my bobber lobin rig found my depth 14ft  extended my leader down below the micro swivel with Fluorocarbon tippit. put on a #18  Chromi, stripped  some line and started my cast. At about 45 ft out I let it settle and after a minute or so started my slow single inch strips.at about 30 ft I had a slite strike. I left it alone for a while let the chop do the work and Boom. Indicator was gone and my line tight.
      I worked that water for quite a while with nothing.  I moved a few time readjusted depth. switched back to Intermittent line with a pheasant tail worked the weeds the shore line. tried other bugs. Saw a Canadian Fellow catch a fish.
     Went over to where Gary and Scott were fishing. Scott had netted  a few fish earlier but nothing for a long time.Gary hadn't even had a bump and Rich was pretty much in the same boat.
    It was still early enough to head back to camp have some lunch and head out to Morgan Lake.
By the time we got back in to shore and loaded up we decided to just head for Kamloops grab some lunch and head west to Morgan Lake.
