Short Fishing Report

[Phil Lilley]

Got out from 2-5 pm. Boated to the Narrows above Fall Creek. Lake has been high all day from the rain yesterday and last night. Must have gotten a heavy local amount downstream cause the level has held high all day - about 18 inches. High enough that alot of the boats going up went right across the bars without hitting. Big boats were heading uplake above Fall Creek on the wrong side of the lake and never hit. Lucky dogs.

Water was alittle off color too. We threw 1/8th oz olive jigs and slayed the rainbows. Alot of them would hit the jig right at the boat- most of the time they'd sheer off at the sight of the boat but because of the dingy water, they'd keep coming. Most were around 12 inches but had some pushing 15-16 inches.

Lots of fun!

Fly fished Friday in high generation and no luck. Today was okay. Will post some pics when get to a computer. Caught browns d rainbows on #10 to #32. Tan, olive and gray. Nothing was really hot but caught them on about everything from dries to mainly wets. Egg patterns are okay...they should be improving as the fall approaches. Hard to see the keyboard so I hope the are not typos.

Gray scuds were probably the top producer. Fish wee around 17" to 18" max. Weighed a couple on a digital scale at 2lb 8oz.
