Dreary Day

[John W Kelly]

Anyone else go out today (Wednesday)?

It seemed to me like the fish were completely dormant. I managed to land 7, had a dozen hookups, and lost 3 at the net, but most of that action came after they started running several units of water around 2 o'clock.

Cool photo, pretty hardcore to be fishing in that rain.

Weird - a had a day last fall with almost indentical conditions (except they never generated) and slayed them. But I did put up the fly gear in the heavy rain and slung spoons and jerkbaits on spinning gear.

Thanks!

Fished in it for 7 hours.

I thought today would be great...maybe the low water and slow flow made them lethargic (?)

The last few nights have been that way too just slow!!! Could be low DO I have not looked in a while to see what the Do level is.

Big rainy days and nights are my favorite becuase you have the whole place to your self mostly, keeps your fair weather fisherman at home

I wondered if it could be low DO too, but I don't know anything about it (yet). There were no signs at all of any large hatches that could have filled them up, and I noticed quite a few were 'sleeping' near the banks.

I found this short article interesting. It's a couple of years old, but informative. Not sure if low DO and "great trout fishing" go together though.

At 5:00, I think I was the only one out there...didn't see another soul.

Aw crap, I hate hearing reports like this, headed that way for a couple days.

A few times last year they either pushed food out the outlet or it was from feeding the fish in the hatchery and the excess made it to the lake, anyway things got slow after the major feeding frenzy. Maybe it happened that day? Caught a fish last night that puked up a lot of what looked like fish food.
