Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 22, 2013 Root Admin Posted February 22, 2013 Boated up to Lookout 4 pm today. They had been running water at 705, one unit, but they kicked it back to 703, 1/2 units about the time I got up there. Wishing to fish one full unit. Started with a 1/8th oz olive/sculpin jig working the bluff bank. Not much. So switched to a while which really was my first choice. Caught several small rainbows right off the bat, then slowed down. The current didn't seem like it was moving as fast so I blamed the lack of bites on that. I got down about half way to the Narrows and hung a really big fish. Big head shake. One 3-4 seconds and snap--broke line. Wasn't the knot... just a bad place in the line. Man I wish I could have at least seen it. Was running the gopro so would have gotten it on camera. Worked on down using the white, then switched to sculpin/peach and caught some more. Fished all the way down to the boat ramp above Fall Creek and called it. Lots of rainbows under 10 inches, a few from 11-13 and probably a half dozen 14-15 inch. Light midst, very dark, slight generation and a little breeze- that's perfect conditions to catch trout, especially on jigs. They just weren't that hungry!

mic Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Big head shake..." I was reading to fast and thought this said a big snake head. That really caught my attention.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 23, 2013 Author Root Admin Posted February 23, 2013 Lilley are you in your shop down their in branson most of the time. That's a tough question.... I'm on the grounds in my office but not in the tackle store/resort office much. They don't let me touch the new POS system (never thought it would come to this...). BUT I CAN be.
