Saturday Fishing

[Phil Lilley]

Got out with John Johnson and his son-in-law this morning. No generation, cloudy and wind out of the NW. Boated to just above the narrows and started fishing a red #16 zebra midge under a float 24 to 36 inches and caught fish. They shut off so went to a 100th ounce brown/orange head jig and float, 48 inches deep and they bit good.

After a bit they shut off again- we bounced back and forth from midge to jig and did pretty well. Not sure what made them go off and on like that but- it's fishing.

I broke off a very nice rainbow on my anchor rope- I was in a jon boat and was using the anchor to keep me from being blown all over the place. Health caught a nice brown. A few other rainbows in the 14-15 inch range but mostly small rainbows.
