Fishing Buddy Report

Jan. 19 and 20th Fishing Buddy Report

Jan.19

Arrived in town the morning of Jan. 19th to find 4 generators running, so I rigged up a size 14 scud and 14 sowbug and fished the outlets for a few hours catching several fish. Headed to the room around 11:30am for some lunch and a nap. Got back up to the dam around 2:30pm and the water was off. I tried a white wooley bugger from outlet 2 up to outlet 1 with no takers. There was a little breeze, so I tied on an olive crackleback. Caught several fish wading down from outlet 1 to the rebar hole. They wanted it moving. A siren went off when I got around the rebar hole so I stuck around there waiting for water to start rising. It never did. I tied the scud and sowbug back on and fished the rear end of the rebar hole catching several fish. The nicest one is shown in the pic attached.

Jan. 20

Too cold to wade so I fished off the dock and caught a few to take home. Flouresent Yellow Power Eggs and inflated worms seem to have been the best that day. Saw a few Bald Eagles as well.

Overall, great trip. Thanks for the great price on a nice room. We enjoyed our stay.
