3-11-09 Fished Zone 4

[FishinCricket]

Took a buddy down Wednesday and put the boat in... We were fishing for food and it was cold... So not much opportunity for photos and such... But he ended up with his limit plas a few Dinks that he released and one 17" fatty; he was using white power bait and we had the boat anchored about 15 feet front the bank (and 30 feet from the boat ramp) just upstream from where the spring flows in.

I opted for a 1/16th ounce Black maribou jig with a pink head and white tail. I kept it slowly jigging about two foot off the bottom, and most of the hits came on the drop. All of the hook ups came from the line between the blue of the spring and the brown of the river.

I hooked around 20 or so, the biggest of which was a really pretty, long and slender 18" rainbow.

Hope you enjoyed the report, sorry for the lack of photos.

Is the river muddy now? Sounds like it from your report.

Not really, but the contrast still shows at the point where the river and spring meet.. But no, low flow and minimal draining off the hills had made the river pretty clear.

Sorry if my posts confused that point.. It was mainly to highlight the area where most of the fish were hooked.
