7/18 Fishing Report

[DaddyO]

Got a late start heading to the river this morning. Finaly got on the water at about 9am. Started at the Dam and stayed there until I left. The weather was beautifu. The water was cold up by the Dam but it was very cloudy, a little bit lighter, in color, than coffee.

I started fishing right in front of the big rocks. Again, I was using the BobWhite. The first 9 drifts produced 9 fish, even a small brown. That was my first brown trout to catch on this river. I caught another one later in the day. The 9th fish had a bare hook stuck in his mouth, so, I removed that for him. The fish wizend up to the BobWhite, so I switched to a pink micro jig and caught 2 more. I switched back to the BobWhite (It's hard not to use something that works) and caught a 2 lb catfish and then caught a few more Rainbows and the other brown. 16 fish by the big rocks and 1 catfish.

I tied on a #16 Hair and Copper and moved down to the riffles between the big rocks and the open water. I caught seven fish on the Hair and Copper until the quit hitting it and then I swithced to an #16 Olive Zebra Midge and caught another one. 8 fish at the riffles.

I fished from 9 til 2 and caught 25 fish. It's funny how time flies when your catching fish. (sorry, not pictures. I forgot the camera.)

Sounds like you had a good day yesterday. I went on Saturday around 5 pm. Used a purple san juan worm. caught 2 and had lots of bites. kind of slow but a nice evening. The river was shutting down when I got there and the trout were jumping everywhere.
