Tuesday 3-18-14 Fishing Report

[mapm2004]

Got down to Maramec Springs at about 8:30AM. Weather was a little cold in mid 30's and lots of wind. The wind made it difficult for me to case my four weight. I starting fishing the main hole. Started with a #16 red copper john with rubber band legs(That I got from Feather Craft) Didn't get any bites with it for first half hour so switched over to a #8 olive wolly bugger. Got some bites but missed on hook sets. Changed to a #18 red copper john. I noticed around me that most of regular fishing people fishing with bait from bottum or deep below a bobber so I set my fly deeper below my indicator. I got bites but missed on hook sets. Finally hooked and landed fish. It was a small male rainbow and had nice color to him. Caught two other small rainbows. I did let all three go. By this time its 11:30AM and took break for lunch and back on water at 12:00PM Decided to start fishing the trophy area. Stayed with the #18 red copper john. Stopped above the first fal and made about 20 casts and no bites. Then walked to above second fall and made about 20 casts and caught one small rainbow and let it go. Then walked down to bridge. Made about another 20 casts and caught one rainbow and let it go. Started to make my way back and on way back I spotted a big rainbow under a floating moss. Had to be at least two-three pounds easy if not bigger. Started throwing streamers and wooly buggers at it and didnt get any reactions from it so moved on. Made it back to main hole and continued to use #18 red copper john. Caught my 4 trout limit and headed home at 3:30 pm. I give my trout away that I keep to family or my boss.
