Members troutgal Posted May 24, 2006 Members Posted May 24, 2006 Fished from about 10am till 3 pm today, great day! Fishing was excellent on white jigs...seemed to be a lot of fish left over from kids day. All the fish we caught ran at least 1 lb. Most even larger.
Seth Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 How was the water clarity? Did you see any lunkers caught?
Members troutgal Posted May 27, 2006 Author Members Posted May 27, 2006 The water was still pretty murky, but not so much that you couldn't sight fish. I only saw 2 lunkers caught. One was on a stringer that ran probably 3 lbs. and my dad landed and released one that was about 19" long and ran about 2 1/2 lbs. I caught several 2 pounders or a little better and released them also. A fun day to say the least.
Members sasquatchmike Posted May 30, 2006 Members Posted May 30, 2006 Troutgal seems to catch trout on white jigs. Can you be more specific about the size/weight?
Members troutgal Posted June 2, 2006 Author Members Posted June 2, 2006 Hi guys! Sorry I didn't respond earlier, but I made a trip down to Taneycomo and back up through Bennett and MSP. I didn't take the laptop, so...you're right. 1/32 or 1/64 oz. jigs in white mostly or ginger color if they are taking white too short. Try trimming the tail a little at a time till you get a good hook-up. Never cut the maribou with scissors or clippers, though. I usually just pinch it off when it's dry, or bite it if wet. It keeps the tail from looking "square" Maybe one day I'll get a chance to meet some of the "regulars" here in person. I make a trip at least once a week. If you talk to Ron who works there at the park, ask him about Gretchen and her dad. He'll let you know if I'm there.
Seth Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 The kid that works with Ron is named Phillip and he is one of my best friend. Ask Ron about Seth and Cari if you are down there on a Saturday. I would hope he knows both our names by now, if not then Phillip will know us for sure. I will try to remember to ask Ron or Phillip about you next time we go there, which is probably going to be this Saturday. I need to practice tying jigs a lot more, I always get the tails uneven when I tie in more than one bundle of marabou and end up having to trim with scissors.
