Leonard Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 EXTREMELY HIGH WATER!!! The water was over 710.6 .. not the highest Ive ever fished but man was it high.. Stared off in outlet 2 with a midge (size 10) and a red SJ worm (size 12). The water was moving so fast the big midge didnt even get down. so I ended up going a 3 fly rig. The midge/ a weighted size 12 sowbug (black) and a jig egg. Running about a 10 foot leader with the midge set about 4 1/2' under the indicator. I finally got to them. It was a very slow night. Picking up 4 on the egg. Then switch back to the SJ worm (red). Picking up 2 more. Then I put on a big pink sj worm. with 2 more there. Well as I was watch the drifts I flip on the light and noticed the flies still was gettting all that for down. then went to a mohawk sculpin at the end.. Pick up 5 more fish. All in all still able to fish. The water was very high. The bite wasnt there but did pick up a few. Walk up to outlet. Just to much water. The water was all the up to the bottom off the step. I fished from about 10pm- about 12:30am Leonard http://www.taneycomonights.com
