Members mhumke Posted March 6, 2014 Members Posted March 6, 2014 Hi guys, heading down with some buddies tonight. Fishing in a boat both Friday and Saturday morning, then planning to fish trophy area in the afternoons. We've had a conod for about two years now and I fish down there about once a month, but never from a boat. I usually Fly Fish or bank fish near the landing if I want to keep a few to eat. Anyway, in our previous two trips we had two very different experiences. The first trip they were running tons of water, very fast swift current, had very little luck from the boat, only boated four fish between the four of us. We tried drifting eggs and crawlers and throwing rapallas, picked up two drifting and two on rapallas, one was a nice big brown though on the rapalla!! But the fishing overall was pretty disappointing. Our second trip last fall they were running little to no water, and we caught pretty much as many as we wanted on power bait between Scottys and all the way down through the landing I'm guessing 50-60 fish between 4 of us. Much more successful and fun!!! Looking at generation seems like they're running pretty good water in the morning later. Do you think that will be the case Friday and Sat? I'm guessing the answer is who knows? LOL. If they are running pretty good water any tips on how to better catch them in a good drift?? Any other tips are always much appreciated!! Thanks as always!!!!
duckydoty Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Been doing real good on trout magnets 4 to 5 feet under an indicator in the lower section and brown and orange jigs just straight lining them. The upper end could be good on white jigs. Watch Phil's videos he has posted the last couple of day. Good luck to ya! A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!!

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 6, 2014 Root Admin Posted March 6, 2014 http://www.swpa.gov/generationschedules.aspx%C2'> Check this site out tomorrow afternoon and you'll know what SPA "say" what they'll run this weekend. Hard to say. Right NOW it says 2 units for a couple of hours in the am then off the rest of the day. Doesn't lit Saturday yet. Read my last 2 reports. I can't add must to them. Conditions and fishing hasn't really changed in weeks.
