Friday Night Strippers Club

[duckydoty]

Got a call from Nighthawk around 7 on Friday night with an invite to the strippers club. My first response was "It's nasty outside" Russ's reply was, "A little rain dont hurt......them fish are already wet."

Now where have I heard that before????

Well, upon being called out, I could not refuse an invite to strip a few streamers while the water was off.

I showed up at the pavillion about 9:40, lightning was flashing, thunder was rolling, the wind was blowing, the rain was flat out coming down, and Leonard was standing under the pavillion. I guess he knew it was club night too.

First thing Leonard asked was "Are you gonna fish in this?"

Well, that's what I came down here for.

Russ showed up at 10 and asked if I was gonna fish with it lightning out. I said, "yep," and he said, " if your gonna, then I am too," and we all headed for the water.

Russ and I headed to the rebar and Leonard went down below outlet two.

I started with white mink sculpins, Russ with Leonard's red hibernator.

Russ picked up a fish right off the bat at the rebar and I was sucking goose eggs. Leonard met back up with us and we headed to the gauntlet. I switched over to a black wooley, picked up a fish and let Russ know what color I was using. I'm assuming he switched colors at that point because he was catching two to my one. Leonard was picking up a few fish too, but I do not know what he was getting them on. I think he was changing things up quite a bit. I ended up with 10 fish down in the gauntlet and Russ said he got a dozen or so. We decided to go up to the flats between outlets one and two around midnight thirty and Leonard, due to a hurting back decided to go on home.

When we got up to the flats, Russ absolutely took me to school. I think he was catching fish on every cast. We fished up there about an hour and I only brought to had 3 fish. My only saving grace was that the last of those 3 was a pretty decent fish. Best fish of the night.

Had a fun time out there and glad I got to fish with some good friends. Russ was right, A little rain did not hurt them fish!

Nice report Duane, Went back to the river after talking to you at Tim's, caught about 30 fish before going home.

Sounds like a good time had by all. I doubt that I would have fished with the lightning and the rain. I have found that it is difficult to cast trying to hold that umbrella over my head, and even harder to land a fish. Hope to join up with guys in the near future. Good report and a good fish Duane, thanks for posting.

Caught a few on the olive PMS and the rest on the black PMS

I got there about 7:30 and fished outlet 2 for a bit... caught maybe 25-30 on the midge scud combo..

after the water shut down.. I switch over to the black/purple/red hibernator and picked up 7or 8.. switched to the Olive H20 and caught 5.. switch .... purple H20 caught 2.... tossed around the new "Mood Swing" and got 3 (not bad )

**********The Mood Swing.... this was its first night on the water... ******

all in all... probably caught close to 45-50 fish for the night..

That's false advertising, still cool, but not what I was hoping for!

I think this forum needs more fishing reports. It's a fishing forum,not a spelling bee
