Fishing Report

[Phil Lilley]

Took 4 little cousins out fishing yesterday for a couple of hours. Boy they can work you! Took the pontoon- beautiful day. Drifted from Fall Creek down. First used night crawlers. Big mistake. Bob Klein caught some nice rainbows the other day so I wanted to try. Problem was they were getting so many bites, I couldn't keep up. A couple of hooks ups but nothing to the net. You have to let the trout take the night crawler- at least the way I hook them which is half a worm hooked one time in the middle, hanging off on both side. The trout will actually follow the worm downstream, munching on it. John's worm was shredded when I had him check his bait. So we went to Gulp Eggs- one white and one orange.

Each kid caught at least one. They loved it.

Bill said fishing this am was very good below the dam. He said as long as the fog stayed, the big rainbow bit. Guess they like that low light time.

I got out this evening- boated to the dam and started below #3 working the bank using a sculpin 1/8th oz jig. Caught a couple in the slack water them 3 more before getting to the boat ramp. Nothing over 16 inches but they were fat. Another 3 before getting to Lookout. Switched to a split shot and red San Juan Worm and 4 more rainbows, 2 before Fall Creek and 2 below. Missed several too.

Great evening- had the lake to myself. A little fog, no wind, very peaceful.

Keep those reports coming Phil. I'll be down the 22nd 23rd 24th.Always a big help to get started with some cofidence with what you're doing. Also will need a slip if you have one. I'm sure you are booked solid but I'll check in to see if you had any last minute no-shows.

Been onsite looking for any new updates(most from last week)...we will be arriving late tonight with Pontoon and plan on fishing Friday & Saturday.

Thanks
