RiverRunner Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 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. Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to call you up and ask you to guide me :-) What a great day it must have been on the water. ~V 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ home waters = Tombigbee River, Mississippi River, Buffalo River, and S. Sylamore Creek, S.

RiverRunner Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 There are fish a lot bigger than that one swimming in the LR. I'd hate to have to make a living as a guide on that river, it's so fickle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
