Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted April 2, 2006 Root Admin Share Posted April 2, 2006 No fools- I heard Swan is full of whites. Great fly fishing. Not sure if it's true- anyone hear? Crappiefisherman!!??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappiefisherman Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 very true, was there friday evening, people shoulder to shoulder and fish swiming around their feet. As usual some catching dozens others just a few , but saw many happy faces.Also I cant believe the size of the males.Easily 19 inch fish.Just after dark I hooked a fish and was suprised as it continued upstream, most all went down stream when hooked.I couldnt get the fish off the shoal and it swam towards another anglers back, long story short the fish was a monster sow that broke the line as my fellow angler tried unsucsesfully to grab the fish.I laughed so hard , who cares if it got away.I am very impressed at the size of the fish this year, and I havent caught a single runt male yet in the last 3 weeks. Oh, and fellow fishermen, what ever you do, dont ever drive your wifes crown victoria to the creek, and put a 5 gallon bucket full of whites in the trunk next to her incredible garage sale finds..Of course on the other hand the silent treatment is kinda nice for a while.HA HA HA [ [ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappiefisherman Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Lilley as far as flyrodding I only saw one fellow there and he was cleaning house.It was very close to dark and people where very close together.I realize the water is very low in the creek but I have never seen the size and litterally thousands of fish stacking up on the shoulders before>I caught 2 fish over 3 lbs foul hooked in the dorsal with a swimming minnow.Im not bragging but you where reeling over their backs most of the time, makes for strange feeling retrieves.I am not a fly fisherman, just cause I never tried.I own a rod but never used it.I can tell you that the flying insect population exploded yesterday also.Not the itchy typ[e but the forehead landing ones. Good luck my friends [ [ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonreed Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I went down to the mouth of swan last night. Got there a little before dark and seen as many people as fish it seemed. I didn't have a single bite last night. I fished till almost 9 oclock. I guess it was just a bad night for me since others on here are catching them. I saw lots of fish though. Maybe tonight will be better, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
