Fishing Report For 7/02/08

[trout fanatic]

Well finally got down to Bennett Springs today for the first time this year. There was really a lot of people there for a Wednesday! Water was up about 6 inches over normal and still pretty murky. Flow was good. I was confident. Then I started fishing and let me tell you it was work. I tried just about every pattern I had and picked off one here and one off there but no consistancy at all. Did manage to whack a nice 15 inch fish on trout crack pattern and lost a really nice rainbow on a clown egg. Wound up with 7 to hand lost 4 and for the second trip in a row, caught another sucker on a fly. I think maybe I will start targeting suckers (might be the way to get the trout to hit). Seen lots of kids including a couple of 8 to 10 year olds that were pretty impressive with a fly rod-kudos to their mentors. Till next time

I was there last weekend and I agree, fishing was tough. You really had to work at it. Thanks for the report.
