Hopper Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Took my dad for a couple of hours this morning (8:30 - 12:00),nothing hitting and was getting ready to give it up around 10:00 when the sand bass started hitting, caught quite a few and one nice largemouth, overall not too bad considering the weather was not the greatest.

DaddyO Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Dangit!! I wondered if anybody would go down there this weekend. The schedule showed the water to be right. I almost decided to go but went to the Lower Illinois for their "One Fly" tournament instead. I'm glad the fish turned on for you guys. Were you throwing Clousers and Deceivers? What colors worked best for you? DaddyO We all make decisions; but, in the end, our decisions make us.

What colors worked best for you? Clousers, #6 char/white, purple/white size #8 probably would have been good also they seemed to key on the smaller size. Went Sunday aftenoon also, caught more fish, 3 small stripers 1-3 lbrs 5-6 spotted bass and a bunch of sand bass, again smaller flies.

DaddyO Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Gregg, Are you fishing in front of PSO or are you fishing below the Low Water Dam? What would you consider the best time of the day to fish the area? I haven't broken in my new rod by landing a Striper or Hybrid yet and I am dying to give it a try. Thanks, Phil DaddyO We all make decisions; but, in the end, our decisions make us.

Thanks, Phil Phil, I fished both days below the low water dam, but I think with the colder temps there should be some stripers holding in the deep pool below pso, or the pool right above the kayak access.

Hopper Posted December 22, 2009 Author Posted December 22, 2009 Seemed like both days fishing was best when it warmed up around 11:00 am. The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.
