timsfly Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 It was nice this morning not a sole around and kinda chilly, but the trout were very active, I missed a few nice ones, caught a lot of small fish and landed this nice one. Caught most on my # 2 orange/white bunny bug, fish measured 27" not fat but was nice and long.

duckydoty Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Nice fish Tim. Cold weather tends to keep a lot of folks in for some reason. duckydoty A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
Terry Beeson Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Dang I gotta get over there... How are Fridays, Tim? Driving to work this morning, I thought I should be on some water somewhere...

DD'sMC Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Very nice fish, Tim. Worth the cold wasn't it?! 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.

timsfly Posted December 2, 2008 Author Posted December 2, 2008 Fridays are always good, the fish are ready to go after a few days of rest. Just more people on fridays, but not as many as on a sat. or sun. Yes it was well worth the cold, I only fished till 10:00 and then I had to go take care of a few things, went back down at 2:00 and there were only 7 people in the upper area (zone 1) it was still good fishing, the trout were hitting caddis, most of the afternoon, I didn't get anymore really good fish this afternoon, but caught plenty of 12-14" rainbows. Here is the bunny bug, tied on a #2 Dai-riki 700 about 15 wraps of .025 lead wire. It is amazing to me that a 12" rainbow will tackle this thing, it is about 3" long.

I'll try something bigger next week, I have used bugs 4" but haven't tried something 6" long, I'll tie a few up and give em a try.
