Fishing Report

[Lincoln]

Update - Aug. 28

Had the day off yesterday. Decided I could do worse than spend the day fishing, so as soon as the rain let up, I was on the water.

After all the rain over the last couple of days, I was very interested in trying my luck with the good ole San Juan. Surely there were more than a few worms washed into the lake.

I started at Rebar and worked my way down to the boat ramp, with most of my time spend around rocking chair. I use two different colors on a regular basis: red and tan. Both caught a few fish, but overall it was not as strong of a bite as I was hoping for.

Switched to a zebra after a while (what a complete surprise!?), and caught many more fish than on the San Juan. It was also a good day for the dry. Probably had 5 fish on and a few others either refuse or just miss.

On another note, the fishing continues to improve off our dock. Again, not huge numbers, but most certainly more fish than what we had been seeing over a large part of the summer.

Orange and Yellow power bait has seemed the ticket over the last couple of days. One of each on a #8 hook. Have your "de-hooker" ready. Most are swallowing the hook/bait completely. Nightcrawlers have been doing well...if you're interested in catching suckers. I'm sure that will change soon with the browns beginning to move up the lake. I've seen several cruising past our dock in the last week.

Best of luck. Til next time...
