Vince and I fished yesterday from about 2-4 pm and today about the same time period. Yesterday the water was off all day, alittle wind and cloudy. We sat just above the Riverpoint Estates Boat Ramp in the middle of the lake and cast to the middle. We used olive micro jigs with a gold head under a float 4-5 feet deep. The trout wouldn't leave them alone - it was great! Today we boated to the cable below the dam since they're running 2 units today. Of course we started with white jigs. They weren't on them like last week but they bit. Vince and I both landed several rainbows about 18 inches and fat but we also caught lots of smaller rainbows. Wind was tough but not too bad. Gusty. I threw a 3/32nd oz jig straight and Vince used the fly rod, fishing a 1/16th oz jig under a carrot float 5-6 feet. No pics today. Had to concentrate on keeping the boat straight for Vince. Not sure why they ran water today... hope they got it out of their system for the weekend. Looked like there were a bunch of people on the banks expecting low water.
Members Fredrick Posted February 18, 2011 Members Posted February 18, 2011 Yea I was at the boat launch by the dam from 10 30 am till 2 pm I was indeed expecting low water. I still caught 4 small rainbows biggest being 14 inches(rooster tails) . I had fun, too nice of a day to be inside all day. I was their a few days ago when the water was alot lower. A few days ago people were giving me had time because I use ultra light spinning tackle. I guy even said "you won't catch anything with that junk" wth? Are these people really like that? jagermeister anyone?
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 18, 2011 Author Root Admin Posted February 18, 2011 Should have laughed at him and catch a rainbow in front of him. I'd take it as a challenge. All "these people" are like that at all. Just the one who said it. Don't let it bother you. Just have a great time. You should try throwing some small marabou jigs when the water is low. #2 line and 1/32nd oz sculpin jig will catch alot of trout up there when the water is low. They don't see many small jigs like that. They see alot of scuds and san juans.
Members Fredrick Posted February 18, 2011 Members Posted February 18, 2011 I use #4 line I am afraid of #2 just because(how do u set the hook with the drag so low?). Next time I run in to judge smails. Ill try and give him a good one liner. The double take when they saw the spinning tackle was priceless. I got a bubble cast just piss them off.LOL jagermeister anyone?
