duckydoty Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 I took DD'sMC to work yesterday afternoon. Since I was right there at the dam, I decided to see what was going on. Of course the water was running, so I walked up to outlet 2 just to see who was there. 3 young men were covering the outlet and, as I watched them, I noticed they were using powerbait. One of them came up the hill and asked about other places to fish. I told him about Cooper Creek Access, the fish down there really liked powerbait, and that he was currently fishing in the Trophy Management Area that was flies and artificial lures only. The young man informed me that what he was using was "Artificial Bait" and that they were going to continue to fish there. I just said ok, eased back up to the parking lot and gave our local conservation agent a friendly phone call. Unfortunately all I go was the answering machine and left a message. Another call to Phil and I got the number to the Hatchery and spoke with John. John was very happy to come down and take care of the situation immeadiately. I then headed up to outlet one and low and behold there is Laker67 realing in his 1209th lunker, a very nice 4 pound broun! I joined him for a while messing around in the outlet and we caught several fish there in a short period of time. Had a fun time visiting with friends and catching a fish between conversations.

Bman Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Thanks for the report, a pat on the back for taking care of the illegal activity. Sometimes when putting in a boat just down at the MDC boat ramp, I see the same thing. They usually have a cooler next to them to stash their illegaly caught, and sized fish. Would you please post those two phone numbers you used? I would like to add them to my cell phone. Congrats to Laker67! on the #1209th lunker! The only good line is a tight line
laker67 Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Once again, I had the pleasure of getting to fish, and visit, with DuckyDoty. Fishing was tough yesterday, but I managed to find a few "dumb" ones. I left all of the smart ones for DuckyDoty. Duane failed to mention that he "also" caught an equally good rainbow and lost another lunker right at the bank. At the end of the day I got a quick lesson on Duane's chuck n duck method. An interesting concept for swift, and unwadeable water. As always, I had a great time fishing with Duane. He is a very talented and accomplished fly fisherman. Thanks Duane, for sharing some of your fishing time with this old man. Tight lines and a safe passage to you and DD'sMC on your upcoming trip.

On Wednesday, prior to the storm, the water was in great shape for catching some fish off-guard.
Bman Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Hey, no problem. Wish I could have been in the outlet with you two...up on the bank just watching! That would have been a treat! The only good line is a tight line
