One Great Fishing Weekend

[perchjerker]

Sorry to take so long to get this report going for last weekend. Brother Skip(Deaddrift) and I did some hard fishing last weekend the 31st to the 2nd.We would start in the morning about 9am and boat up to the top of lookout.After the storm on Fri. we were able to dail them in on a 1/32 sculpin colored jig (from Lilley's of course) to get a grey & red thread sow bug down to them. Our best luck was in 4ft of water but I think that was because it got to that depth the best.We were picking up about 8 every time we drifted down to the shallows @ Fall Creek. Almost all rainbows and I had a real nice 2lb largemouth.What a fight he gave me on a 5 wt. rod. We would stop fishing around 3pm,get some food and sleep and would head for the dam @ 9pm. Met Leonard and had some killer coffee,then had the privilege of fishing the PMS fly and later the PMS jig and Rapalas on ultra lights.Needless to say water flow was the big issue on where and how to fish.We learned so much in those 2 nights we'll have to come down for a week just to try them all.Many fish were caught,nothing big just quality fish,thanks to Leonards schooling.Don't worry Leonard, we'll keep your secret of snagging that 31/2 ft. Gar on the fly rod. What a fighter in swift water he was!! We would fish till 3am then repeat the schedule all over again .Fish,Eat,& Sleep.Needless to say we did not bring the wives down with us on this trip.Deaddrift's fatherinlaw needed some trout for pan frying so on Sunday we used nightcrawler drift rigs down at Monkey Island. It wasn't to long that we had enough good trout to take home for the frying pan. As you can see we fished about every way possible and caught fish.I Love This Lake.Kudos again to Leonand from Perchjerker & Deaddrift.
