Fishing Report

[kelly]

Our group came down thursday the 12th and fished everyday all day long till 2pm on Sunday. We did catch fish although not the kind of numbers we have in the past. But then that's why it's called fishing and not catching.

Egg patterns worked for us above Fall creek, (thank you bill Babler) and the Gold floating and Gold/Black Countdown Rapalas in the mile below the dam. I noticed when I made my retrieve, with a Rapala slooowly straight acoss the lake I picked up more fish and generally about the time the lure began it's accent near the boat. I also noticed the fish came out of the slower water near eddies and along the North bank near the MDC boatramp. All Rainbows too, not a single Brown.

Of course with the water running fast the majority of the fish were hiding behind some sort of structure and only darted out to grab a meal. I did not see many fish holding on the bottom in open water.

All in all it was a great trip. Our 21st group trip to Lilleys Landing in as many years, not to mention the five or six or...ten yearly day trips.

The gang at Lilleys took care of us again as usual and as we really appreciate it.
