Micheal Kyle Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Night fishing Has been AWESOME If you want to get down and try it this is the time, they have a very nice pattern going right now with the dam. They have been shutting the water down between 7-10 every night, except fro Wednesday night they ran until 12am. The cable has been fishing extremely well from the south side casting north. Stripping the fly slow then pause it and they hit it. With the moon not coming up until 12-1am I have been hitting the point down to the big hole and it has been awesome lots of nice fish down there when you fish the big hole remember you want to fish it from the south side casting to the north and then work your way down to the rocking chair hole. With the days being very long with day light and lot of beetles and mice every where I have started fishing top water at night and it has been very good Mice, Foam Hoppers, and the good ol' Muddler. Basically when fishing these flies at night you cast it out and make them look like it is swimming away from something. With the Muddler see a a fish rise cast to the area and strip it back about 75% of the fish will attack it. The Mohair Leech in blood red, electric blue and evil leprechaun have been very productive this week. They want it very slow almost at a dead stop. Down at the point we are taking the leech and casting it out as far as we can and just letting it drift down not even moving it . They will either hit it on the swing or hit it at the point where the swing and strip will start. With Taney being very crowed during the day.I have been fishing long leaders 12-15 ft long. IMO I feel that keeps the fly that much further from your fly line and that will improve our your catch ratio. This will be the last report report for a while My wife is pregnant and we had some issues on Friday morning when I got home at 3 am. When we got back home from the hospital at 9 am she is on bed rest until the baby comes. I told her last night not to worry about it I can where all hats and Mr. Mom and husband comes first the fish are always going to be there. Good luck and have a safe night trip here is a fish pic from Thursday night it measured just shy of 22 inches. Tight lines To Know People Is To Know Thier Ways!
