Another Night Time Report

[Micheal Kyle]

I was sitting here at the shop and at about 6:30 called my wife and asked if we had anything going on last night, her reply was I don't care if you go.

Howard and I met up with Russ and Matt and drove down to the dam, got there about 10:30 and to our amazement we were the only one down there. We had the whole place to ourselves.

We decided to start fishing down by the point it was slow down there so we headed up to the cable on the south side and worked our way down to the flats.

It was on!! Getting hit every cast, I have no idea how many fish the 4 of us caught way to many to count. we had numerous doubles triple and quads. It was on fire I figured having the place to our selves was a birthday gift from the fishing gods. Then it went into overtime catching a fish on every cast, thanks Potamoi.

The fish that we have been catching have been very healthy fish fighting hard and great size. I would say that the number of 16-18 inch fish last night out numbered the 12-15 inch fish by 3-1.

The number one fly fished on a floating line with a 12 foot leader was again the Blood Red Leech

Here are a couple of fish pics from last night

A sweet fish that measured just under 22 inches

Here is Russ and Matt showing off what they do best arguing whose fish is bigger hum you be the judge.

Tight Line see you guys next week

Way to go Michael, you got her trained early , it took me 20 years, now when we are up there she just says what time are you going fishing.

They can argue all they want but yours is bigger. Don't know if you can have a happier birthday than that.

I would be a little worried about them turning on the water if I was on the south side up by the cable. Do you have enough time to cross if they did, or would you just walk down to rebar and cross there?

I have never had a problem with that, because if they turn them on I start moving.

When they turn the water on you have about 15 minutes to move on and you will be able to still cross back over.

If you do keep fishing and get caught up there move down to the rebar and cross over down in that area.

At night it is pretty quiet down there unless Willie is singing in The parking lot.

You can actually hear the generators come on line be for the horn blows if you know what to listen for. It just a low groan coming out of the dam. Plus the flow will also pick up since they will actually pull water in to the generators to prime them.

I will say this do not wade up there unless you are comfortable and know where you are in the water and never go up by your self.
