Am Fishing Report

[Phil Lilley]

Coy and I got out early this am- at the cable at 6:30 am. Fished the eddie above #1 using sculpin 1/8th oz jigs and caught 7 nice rainbows between 14 and 18 inches. One Coy hooked jumped 8 times. We worked the hatchery bank down past #3 outlet and caught a couple more rainbows. Down at what used to be #4 outlet, there water coming from the pipe again, we started hooking more rainbows in the eddie water against the bank. Made 3 passes and caught 10--12 more rainbows and one small smalley. Some of the rainbows were smaller but none under 12 inches.

Drifted down to Lookout and fishing the eddie there. Caught 10-12 more rainbows on straight jig and we tried a jig and float and caught a few that way. All sculpin jigs.

Great morning and lots of trout. Built up my confidence on fishing again. I wouldn't call it easy fishing- we had to work for them. Missed alot of strikes- had to pay attention. The fish we caught were all very healthy with pooching stomachs.
