Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 17, 2015 Author Root Admin Posted June 17, 2015 Phil, I think I may have seen you this morning at Short Creek. We tried drift rigs with san juans and grey scuds from Lookout to Fall Creek and powerbait and crawlers from Fall Creek to your dock with nothing to show for it. We finally tried some 3" rogues on the bank and started catching a few. I was able to catch a few rainbows on a oink trout magnet 7' under a float in some eddies as well. Ended up with a dozen rainbows and five browns. The best was a 16" rainbow. I had a brown pushing 20" hooked, but he pulled of during the fight. My FIL had a brown pushing 2' follow his rogue to the boat too. I almost forgot how much fun it is to catch trout on a jerkbait. May be - I was out early. I caught good ones close to the cable on a sculpin jig. Then drifted a scud with ok results. Was disappointed in the Lookout down stretch but I think it's early. Caught one at Fall Creek that spit up a ton of fresh scuds. It'll get better, much better. Seth 1
bigredbirdfan Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 3" rogues on the bank and started catching a few. What color and what area? I've had good success with even bigger Rogues with gates open. Big fish like big baits.
Seth Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 gold and dark green with orange belly. I have some bigger jerkbaits that I use for bass in the winter, but I didnt bring a rod that can handle them.
Members Teamasgrow Posted June 18, 2015 Members Posted June 18, 2015 We timed out trip perfect! or we just got really lucky! The lake was really moving Tuesday afternoon/evening especially with the rains. The fish I caught Saturday-Tuesday were puking up everything from scuds to sculpins and one was puking up sweet corn!
Seth Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Browns bit even better today before the rain set in. Nothing huge, but caught several up to 16" fom Short Creek down to Lilleys dock. Mother in law caught her first trout on a grey scud in the trophy area. It ended up being an 18" beauty! BilletHead 1
MOPanfisher Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Heck yeah Seth, good day fishing looks like. Seth 1
Seth Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 We didn't wear them out like Phil did, but everybody caught a few and was happy.
Johnsfolly Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Nothing like catching an 18" rainbow for your first trout. Sounds like a great time Seth. Seth 1
