Suggestions For This Weekend

[SteveJ]

Hey all. I finally signed up after reading this site for awhile and have a few questions for the experts out there. I am coming down tomorrow for the weekend with my father-in-law and staying at Point Royale. We are looking for some tips for fishing that area as we normally rent or bring a boat and fish below the trophy area. Haven't done a lot of fishing above Fall Creek and not sure what to use. We won't be fly fishing and am wondering if we should just rent a boat and try below Fall Creek like normal. Is it possible to bank or wade fish from the area by Point Royale with any sort of success? I am open to all tips folks, so please do not be shy.

Thanks

Steve

Steve..

the only real places to wade is the outlet 1.. outlet 2 is almost under water..LOL

At 1 you may be able to get about 4-5 in there... (4 is tight.. 5 would be a crowd)..

Bring a boat are rent one..

Fishing from the boats.. if you want to have fun and do some C&R fish above fall creek ... run to the cable and drift down to about KAO.. it takes maybe 10 minutes... fishing jigs , big spoons, and large deep running crank baits.... or hook up at Phils place and he (and the staff) cab help out with whats working...

but if you hit the 20inchers... well theres dinner!!

Below fall creek.. (keeping for dinner)

drifting big scuds/sowbugs with a big SJ worm dropper..

creek fishing..

Minnows, and power bait would be the top 2 choices.. then night cralwers close to the bottom would be good to (since rain is coming for the weekend..

Night fishing at the dam..

Crank bait, spoons or jigs..

fly fishing.. it tight to the tree line.. (I guess that gives a whole new meaning to fly fishing... catching trees.)
