Fishing Report

[Phil Lilley]

Had a trip this am. Took Craig and Jack fishing. Boated to the cable at 7 am and after a short instructional session, they started catching rainbows right off. Throwing 3/32nd sculpin, sculpin/peach, brown/orange or olive jigs and working them close to the bottom, we had several drifts down to KOA and caught 3-8 trout each trip. Slowed down about 9:30 as expected but picked right back up. Our last drift we caught 5 rainbows. We kept 6 under 12 inches. Some were 12-14 and a few 14-16. One pushed 20 inches (pic). No browns. Tried white and had a couple of short takes but no hookups. They want dark jigs.

Lots of guides out today. Chuck, Tony and Tracy all had the same group of fly rodders and they were catching pretty good. I could see an egg fly with something else tied below it, indicator and fishing 7-8 feet deep.

Generation was noticeably slower this am. Very nice flow. Trout seemed to like it. Lots of people fishing along the banks including alot of kids.
