MAY 3-6 AT BSSP

[ALLSTAR1]

Unable to fish a lot due to shoulder injury but would rate the fishing fair for me. As usual, some were doing great. I saw several fly fishers stripping wooly buggers and soft hackles doing well. Pastel glo balls were good as were JD jigs. Afternoons were bad for the amount of algae/moss in the water. Had to constantly clean it off. Size was good. Not many dinks and several 12-13 in fish with a scattering of larger. A friend I was with said zone 3 was tough but he considers anything less than 15 fish/day slow. He had 2 fish close to 2 lb. caught 12 in all on Monday and 10 on tuesday (all released).

Zone 1 was good (less moss) on Black and Yellow micro jigs for me. Saw a guy catch about 6-7 in a few minutes on JD jig at the disabled hole.

I have to correct an earlier post where I said I never saw a bait fisherman in Zone 2. Had a guy walk up and load up a hook with salmon eggs and let er fly!

I advised the area was for artificial only and he headed back below the bridge. He did not say thanks!

Fished briefly this morning at whistle and caught 4 on white rooster tail and headed home.
