Brian K. Shaffer Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 If anyone is fishing this weekend - take along a camera and share a story or two here on the O/A Forum. ( is this just a ploy to see what is hatching off at R/R ?? ) I might be down heading there.. not sure what my plans are leaning towards yet.

timsfly Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Brian, bring lots of Caddis, adams, and B.W.O's caddis #14's and #16's, adams and B.W.O's #18's and #20's are working best for me, caught 4 last night on a caddis, and 4 on a #12 black foam beetle. I had a customer come in the afternoon yesterday and he had been catching a lot of fish on a grizzly/holographic green crackleback in a #14. I have been fishing in the fly area mostly but the midge activity has been best up by the lodge, griffiths gnats have been good up there and #24 adams. This is my day off I'm going bluegill fishing today, but may fish the park tomorrow if anything changes(heavy rain or something) I'll get back to you.

Members Bill McC Posted April 17, 2006 Members Posted April 17, 2006 Went to Raoring River yesterday, 04-15-06. Arrived at about 9:00am, was running a little behind. Went into the Lodge to get my tag, and naturally had to chat with the employyes that I knew. I will say that the lodge has allot more to offer since it has been under new mangement the last couple of seasons. Well got rigged up, ST Croix 5wt 8'6" with floating line. Hit the first two holes in front of the lodge, kind of crowed so I moved on. Went up to the last 2 holes by the hatchery. Caught app. 30 fish, I used the following: black furance wooly bugger, pale yellow crackle back, bead head olive wooly bugger, olive wooly bugger. and I can't remember what else. Of the 30 or so fish I caught most were in the 10 to 11 inch range. I did take 4 fish home, that were 14 to 15 inches. I didn't see any big fish taken while I was there. I left the park at about 1:00pm. It was really a great day trip, and no sunburn. BillMc
