Fished This Afternoon

[Phil Lilley]

Did pretty good. Tried a jig head with gulp eggs under a float for a while, drifting along the banks from Lilleys down past Cooper. Had a few hits but nothing hooked. Wasn't pleased with the results. Went to a jig- 1/16th oz with a heavy float. Nothing. Went back to a 1/32, orange head brown marabou and caught a couple in a good eddie on the school side downstream below Cooper. Then tied on a 3/32nd oz olive and worked it pretty hard, jigging it up sharply. Wham! That's what they liked.

REALLY nice rainbows coming out of the lake right now. I could have kept 4 weighing over 4 pounds- all chunky and really colored up.

Those drifting bait the last couple of days have been doing real well! Most are limiting. Best area is in front of our place! Very thankful.
