Long overdue Fishing Report

[Phil Lilley]

This was one of the slowest Saturdays on record on the lake... as far as boat traffic. Fishing was good.

Running 3 units at 8 am so we ran to the cable and started drifting. Wind was gusty and blowing downstream. I had a friend from OK - Barry - one of John Johnson's friends. Barry drifted a scud while I threw a 1/8th oz ginger jig- either of us had much after one drift to the ramp. Second drift, Barry drifted with a peach egg fly and I changed to a sculpin jig. He and I caught a couple small rainbows. John and Robby were doing better than us drifting scuds... I guess we didn't know what we were doing.

The water started to drop out so we drifted on down past Lookout and tied on #14 red or black zebra midges under an indicator 12 inches. Trout were coming up pretty good and we started catching rainbows but nothing big again. Three drifts and it was time to go in. The other guys did real well drifting gray scuds under an indicator 4-5 feet deep and caught some nice rainbows up to 18 inches.

Babler caught a ton of trout today on a trip but I'll let him tell his story.
