High Water Fishing Report

[Tito Degiosio]

Made It out today in the drift boat for the first time since she had arrived

water level was at 1470 cfs when we left this morning and I was a little concerned

But it turned out to be a great day

Fishing was alittle on the slow side (High water)

I started the day on the oars and right of the get go Brian picked up a couple goggle eye and small mouth

when then switched and brought another small mouth to the boat was a nice one not real big just fat and healthy

as the day went on with a Bald eagle being pushed down the river in front of us we had it pretty slow going

we picked up some trout here and there and brian landed a nice 17 incher

Me and brian spotted two nice fish and went after them for about a hour switching places I was finely able to get her to take

and had her on

she didn't put on much of a fight maybe late to spawn but looked healthy I got her in to about five feet and as brian reached

in to Net we all No what happen next Hint the reason for no picture

any how we pushed on catching a few more then hitting the ramp at turners

over all I great day to be out Fishing

almost all fish were caught on a white marabou jig the weight gets it to the bottom fast and looks like a drifting minnow under water

works very well in high water

the big girl was picked up on a extra heavy weighted stonefly with a dropper fly a call THE PINK

real simple size 8 or 10 3 x long

bright pink egg yarn

black thread

can be weighted or unweighted with silver tungsten bead or not depending on water levels I like one thats heavy for fishing deep

and one thats meant to be fished with a dropper or small split shot for shallow water

think woolly bugger lose the hackle just lay the yarn over the top of the hook wrap

so you make some nice even spaced lines about half way down the hooks bend and cut leaving about a 1/2 inch of yarn hanging free

and thats it

Tito,

Boat looks like a beauty! I'll be down in a few weeks and we should get the three of us out for a trip.

It was a fun day! We caught some fish, which was good, though we also didn't fish as hard as we could have. It was mostly about getting the boat out finally. Tito got to learn what wind can do when trying to hold your line in a drift boat as well. He will be an old hand in a few weeks though. Did real well for the first time out. Look forward to getting you out there Grif, see you soon.
