Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 26, 2008 Root Admin Posted October 26, 2008 Where are all the fishing reports???? I know some fished below the dam today. Water will probably be off for most of the day tomorrow too.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 27, 2008 Author Root Admin Posted October 27, 2008 Marsha and I drove to the dam late today to take some pics, see what the water was like with the water off and to may be see and catch some trout. Did all of the above. When I walked up to look over outlet #2, I thought for sure the water was running alittle. Lots of current I thought. Yes there is more current in front of and up from #2 but water wasn't running. The area I like to fish above #2 is more shallow and faster current for sure but I didn't see very many fish holding there. But the wind was blowing and there was a chop on the water so it was hard to see. Didn't see many fish caught in outlet #2. Walked down below rebar. Rebar shoot is wider and more shallow I think but I didn't go there. There were too many people fishing it. Couple of kickers at the tree but they left quick. Caught several rainbows above the tree on a red san juan. Saw one nice brown, may be 6 lbs, cruising in and out of the deep water there. Worked down below the tree and caught several more rainbows. They looked good but didn't fight much. Nothing over 14 inches. Someone needs to take a chainsaw to that tree one night.... Trout really liked those worms... it was fun. Blew 4 horns at 5:45 so we got out. Pics later.
Dave Cook Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 The water was off for a long time Friday night. There were a lot of people out. Swinging woolies below outlet 2 was working good. I didn't catch anything over 16" but the action was good. I still haven't seen the lake in the daytime with the water down but when the water was off, the current below #2 seemed like just the right speed for a wooly.

back2roots Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 It was a good day for sure! I got a little time Saturday afternoon from 3 to about 5:30. Spent all the time just downstream from MDC boat ramp there at the hatchery. Caught a couple of 15-17"" or so bows on #18 P&P also caught a couple...about the same size on a #18 zebra. Even had some jump out of the water trying to hit a Blondie crackel-back. The best of the day was a Brown, closer to 19" on a green and tan sculpin / leech pattern I've been trying to "design". All had good fight to them and GREAT color. Felt good to wading again! Blessings! Bill If you liked the sound....Thank the engineer!
DD'sMC Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 It was a great fall weekend to be out and about. Good pics Phil. Thanks for sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. The two best times to go fishing? When it is raining and when it is not.
