Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted July 3, 2011 Root Admin Posted July 3, 2011 I got out after 6 pm tonight and fished the bluff bank from RiverLake Resort (what used to be) down past Cooper Creek. Threw mainly 1/8th oz jigs in brown, sculpin, sculpin/orange and olive. Caught 11 rainbows and one white bass. Most rainbows were 12-13 inches with 2 over 15 inches. Missed a bunch of bites and lost 6 jigs. Yesterday fished the same bank but not as far down and lost 15 jigs and caught 4 rainbows. They won yesterday, I won today. Babler said he did good fishing pink or chartreuse Gulp eggs down by the bridges early and then heading to the dam laster in the am and drifting rebels on the bottom. Mid day bite is real tough. It's early and late- best.
