Has anybody been fishing? They haven't run much water. I won't get to go anymore of Thanksgiving break but at least we have trout back in our waters.

I've been looking forward to seeing trout rises for a long 'ol time. I just have to find a way down there. lol

I know of at least 4 members of TFF that will be down there in the morning. I will probably head the other direction and fish Lake Pawhuska or maybe Lake Yahola. I hear that the walleyes are moving in to the banks at Yahola.

My brother called me this morning and said that his buddy C&R'd about 75 fish on Wednesday and about 100 fish this morning. All on black wooly buggers and black zebra midges.

Jeez, the frackin' river was packed this morning. I hated it. I couldnt get a spot for squat. When I finally did I caught 4-5 real quick then my mom came and picked me up. I saw a man in the Kiddie pool catching all kinds of fish.

I really would like to go fishing tomorrow morning too but I know that I wouldn't be able to untill around 10 a.m. Argghhh, cant wait to get my pickup. Anyone up for making a drive-by pick-up another fish bum? lol

Zach,

I should've checked the forum before I left. I would've stopped and picked you up. I went today. It was pretty crowded and it was cold. I caught 2 fish once I was able to get into a hole. One was a nice fish (couple of pounds) Olive wooly bugger was the trick. I used my camera on my phone to take a picture of the fish and didn't realize that I had to SAVE the picture until later when I couldn't find it. bummer.

[Zach Bearden]

Haha, I never have had that problem. My phones always just go ahead and save them.

Thats alright, I think that I had more fun since I didn't have to fight off people. lol

Im going down here in a few minutes. Mom said she stopped by the river after work this morning and talked to a man who was coming out. He said that the fish were so thick where he was that you could see pods of them. Well I guess I'll go try my luck.

[DaddyO]

How did you do?

I could see pods of them too. I just couldn't get them interested in anything that I had to throw at them.

[Zach Bearden]

Really? You could see pods of them? I never did see more than 1-2 at a time. I fished a very small woven caddisfly that I made up last night and caught a total of about 25 all day. I had fun, but it was really cold so my hands about fell off. (I have some pretty bad problems in my hands where they swell up and get extremely soar). Was really windy so I would up losing a couple flies and re-tying on two new tippet sections... With all that wind it was extremely hard to see all my strikes. I just let my line lay on the water and would watch as the fish took my fly. Was pretty darned cool.
