That is some great trout fishing. How about Dolly Varden, see any of them there or is it mainly rainbows?
-
Yo-yo effect with the water levels must have the fish messed up.
-
Some real blow-ups.
-
The creativity of the human brain amazes me at times. You sir, are the Edison of the fishing world. Who else could have thought of this?
-
Corps is predicting a peak at 923 today, just keep that in mind as if you launch anytime soon, the water may be up a foot and a half by the time you come back, from where you launched.

I met Jim once, at the OA One fish tournament. He cam up to me, introduced himself, and we had a good conversation. I could tell that he was a good man. I am truly saddened to hear this.
-
Good stuff, thanks for the report.
-
Did I hear Spy Baits? We talked a bit about those last year, but haven't heard much since then. I caught a few on them last year when the fish were up top chasing bait, but haven't had much luck on suspenders with them.

Sending out my drone to overfly the area and see where it is...
-
Yeah, I hear you. It's tough to do when you are out once or twice a week. It can take a day to figure stuff out, and then it's time to go home.
-
Nice ones!

Floating debris and clarity update after flooding please??

Saw a post just recently where they say the Corps is expecting the lake to crest at 923 on Saturday. Some of the launches may be unuseable, parking lots may be flooded. James river is at a record level. -
Thanks for the tips Alex. I've been thinking of dragging the deep cranking stick out just for the heck of it. But it's one of those things that if I don't get a bite in about 15 minutes, it gets put down.
-
Hmmmm, you're right - forget the part about stripers. I wonder if the deep drop shot bite will go away with this change in the water level?
-
LOL, good one!
-
Going to be hot and humid next week, all this water will start evaporating, going to be fun fishing in that stuff. Trying to think of other conversational topics besides catch and kill vs, catch and release. I think we have beat that one to death. Might be some stripers coming into TR with the flood gates getting re-opened.
-
Hard for me to make judgements based on what I see, but most of the fish I've caught over the last month appeared to be spawned out. Seen a few fat spots, but hard to know if they are fat because they are full of eggs, or fat from eating well. Could just be an upper end thing.

Been some crazy rain this spring.
-
Considering they started dumping water on Tuesday, that is a pretty impressive rise, and the graph is still pointed up. Should be a good year for fry survival.

I haven't been there in a couple of weeks, but I would avoid the Kings river and the mouth of the Kings for sure. White river channel above the Kings may have a floater or two, so if you plan to go up there I'd scope it out first before doing any full throttle boating. -
Yep, excellent jig heads!
-
Thanks for the report.
-
What are the regs on rainbows up there in that river? Is it single, barbless hook, catch and release, fly fishing only? Not that I would want to keep any, just curious what the tackle restrictions are. What would be a typical day this time of year as far as numbers?
-
I own a Stradic, it's not a bad reel, but I think they just aren't a good value. Picked up some old model Pflueger Supremes this year from Cabelas Bargain Cave, half the price of a Stradic, and just as good a reel, if not better. Hate to keep pimping the Bargain Cave, but every once in a while they have some good reels at really deep discounts.

I could see where that would be a problem. I'm not saying I support a law where you have to produce identity on demand, and can be arrested if you refuse. But that appears to be how it works in MO and Arkansas and some other states.
