Little Red Report


RiverRunner

Recommended Posts

Headed out to Lobo for a few hours this afternoon. It had been reported that the ramp was closed for repairs, but the word I got was that they were going to try and keep it open while they were working on it. Since the water has been high lately, I decided to spin fish with jigs. Water was low when I got on the river, so I decided to head downriver to stay ahead of the rise. Caught several good fish on 1/32 and 1/16 oz jigs. Colors were black and olive/orange. Caught some nice rainbows and my first real trophy this year, a 23" brown that I am not going to attempt to guess the weight of. After about an hour of fast action and rising water, the full force of two units arrived. I still don't know how to fish the LR on two units, so after fighting the current for a while,I decided to do some boat riding. It's funny, on the White, I feel like I can catch fish anywhere from zero units to eight units. On the LR, once they get two going, it gets awfully tough for me. I guess I need to spend more time on it when its up.

All in all, a good little trip.

Thanks for the report Cameron! I can't imagine EVER catching a fish that big. I am going to call you up and ask you to guide me :-) What a great day it must have been on the water.

PS, A certain somebody in Heber left a message on my phone that a certain something had been repaired..... Now I just need to get it back to together.
