Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 2, 2010 Root Admin Posted June 2, 2010 Ryan and I hit the lake after we closed shop at 6 this evening. Boated to the dam and drifted all the way to Fall Creek. They were running 2 units but dropped to one about the time we got up there. Dropping water is usually the kiss of death but it wasn't real difficult to catch fish. Wasn't one after the other though. I switched color jigs most of the way to Lookout while Ryan stayed with white the whole evening. He kicked my butt too but I caught the biggest! White was the best but like I said we had quite a few dry spells which I'm not use to. That's why I kept changing but they didn't want much on the dark side. Here's the proof... it's nice to have someone to take pics. The first few nice rainbows I had to take pics of. Ryan, like I said, was nailing them down to Big Hole. Then it dried up till we got almost down to Lookout Island. This one was my big rainbow of the evening. 20 inches on the nose. White Jig. Ryan caught this one right after I caught mine. We didn't measure but I'm sure it pushed 19 inches and it might have been heavier than mine. This last one I caught at Short Creek - just wanted to show there's a bunch of nice rainbows below Fall Creek. This one was a good 17 inches.
ollie Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Sweeeeeeeeeeet pics of a good time it looks like! "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!
Ham Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 I'd give up some numbers for size when trout fishing. Most likely ya'll still caught a bunch compared to most bass fishing trips. I like jig fishing for trout. I might sneak in a trip to do just that tomorrow. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish

bigredbirdfan Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 nice fish boys. I'll be down to fish tomorrow. It sure is nice to have someone in the boat to take such good pics. I take mine alone since the poodle can't work a camera.
tippet7 Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 NICE NICE fish! I am surprised that no has said anything about Ryan holding the trout by the lip. You are so stupid you threw a rock at the ground and missed.
Brian K. Shaffer Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Nice fish Ryan and Phil. Funny he is lipping those fish, aint he. Bet his thumb has a mark or two. The lighting sure is good that way though.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 2, 2010 Author Root Admin Posted June 2, 2010 Show a guy how to jig fish and he can't get enough . . . He caught this one off the dock a few minutes ago. 22 inch. Not a gut fish or he'd be fatter.
