Last Nights Fishing Report

[Leonard]

YES ... I went fishing last night

hit the water about 10:30pm and stayed till about 1am

water off... raining... and the temps were not that cold...

started just below outlet 2 with a red hibernator.. catching 5in about 15 minutes..

long drifts and you could feel it rolling the bottom...

switched to a PMS (olive).. 3 fish... then black.. a couple of bumps.. no hook ups..

went back to a hibernator black... 5 more fish....

then the rain got a little harder.... switched to a H20... WOW

IT WAS ON!

non stop for about the next hour and a half..

hooked up over 60+ fish and called it a night

had 8 fish in the 18-19inch mark...

4 fish took the top water hit... AWESOME sight to see at night..

most everything else was 13 to 17 inches..

oh yeah... I got the CRAP scared out of me by a freaking beaver...

I kept looking down stream to see the riffles the new rocks make... I noticed something sticking out of the water... as I kept watching it ... it never moved for what seemed like a hour.... I was thinking it was a rock. As I got closer to it I turned my light on and it blinked at me and jumped into the water... I was about 20feet way... I was done fishing!

Hibernator with legs

[Leonard]

Good trip, whats an H2O? I don't know.

Its a second version of a Hibernator ..... Hibernator + (Rainy's barred) legs = H20

The added legs pushes the water more... It has worked very well most conditions

Rainy, foggy, full moons, and dark over cast.. Ive even caught a couple during the day

Its has "off-set" color of legs..some colors I have found to work..

Black/Red Uv with red barred legs

Olive/olive Uv with Olive flake

Purple/red Uv with red barred legs

Brown?Uv Brown with brown flake

There is a few more colors.. but.. Im still trying different color of legs out

These are probably my favorite....

Leonard-

I love reading your reports. Can you please tell me what your set-up is when you use the hibernators? ie sink tip line? floating? split shot? cast quartering down? Wait while the fly sinks? Mend up/down stream? Sorry for the bombardment of questions, it's just that I have a lot to learn!

Paul...

I'll post it next month... (sorry for the wait).. waiting on material

Jim..

My set-up is simple..

9ft 7wt... 9ft leader (6lbs or 8lbs) Maxima ultragreen mono

wt forward floating line... small bead for weight..

and the striping and drifting all depends on the mood of the fish...

Out again last night with Dylan.. didnt d as well as the night before but we did hook up on a lot of fish... it seem they wanted it barely moving and would strike on the pause.. or just a complete dead drift

Leonard, just out of curiousity, what action is your rod? I'm looking at building one for streamer fishing, and would like some tips on what I should be throwing, other than just weight and length.

I love the H20 ....it's awesome and works good for me. Thanks Leonard for turning me on to it. Haven't been fishing a lot lately, getting ready to move toward Sprgfld and closer to being able to fish a lot. I may run into you this weekend Leonard......if the water is down.
