Fishing Report 12-16 To 12-18

[boz]

I had been waiting for a break in the weather,so I could go to Lilley's and do some trout fishing.I arrived Monday and I was on the water by one o'clock.I motored down to Monkey Island and started throwing jigs.The trout seemed to like the lighter colors and I was having luck ginger patterns.I caught a number of trout,but nothing of any size.Tuesday morning opened with heavy fog.I had to wait until eight o,clock before I could head out.They were running water,so I motored up to the dam.Fishing was slow,until I drifted past what I call the old clay banks.I started picking up fish,and it was steady down past lookout,again lots of fish but nothing of any size.After lunch,I went down to the landing and trolled for a while,I picked up a few fish but nothing big.Towards evening,I fished with jigs by Bass Pro .I picked up two chunky white bass and two largemouth,the one going about three pounds,man it was fun!What a great trip,I can't wait to get back!

Thanks, Tony. The big ones haven't been cooperating lately- but they're out there! Largemouth and white bass... interesting. Last winter we caught a lot of crappie down at the Landing. Will have to go down there and see if they're there again this winter.

Hey Phil....

Let me know when you're going to find the crappie....

I know the location of a few well placed trees... that I happened to find

Year ago I pulled some really nice crappie 14-18in from these holes...
