Saturday Dam to Long Creek

[Bill Babler]

Just about as good as it gets. Fished from 9 till 2 in the rain and fronts blowing in. 15 solid keepers mostly K's but did have 2 LM and 2 keeper Jaws.

3.8 Keitech in Rainbow Shad on a 3/16 is head.  Fish were on the steeper stuff suspended at 15 ft over depth. Saw several that I just dropped the bait and they smacked it

To wet for the camera.  Boat got washed really good. Nice and clean now 

Be interesting to see what all this water wi!I bring. It is sti!I pretty mossy out to 15'

Bill, if you had a client, the person is a die hard to go in the weather we had Saturday. If you went just to go fishing, you must have really been mad at 'em. In either case, sounds like there is truth to the story that TRL fishes pretty good when the weather is bad. Thanks for the information. I've found a lot of slime from dam to point 5. Must be the clear water.

Yep. The clear water section of TR around the dam gets the slime due to the sunlight being able to penetrate the deepest. The algae growth aka "rock snot" is able to grow because of that fact. Definitely puts the kibosh on some baits like warts and other bottom draggers and dredgers.

Thanks for the report bill

Nice day, if not by traditional weather standards. "Chamber of commerce weather" is for golf. Days like Saturday are for fishing.

Heck, that was mild compared to a lot of days that Donna and I have nailed them ... temps in the 30s, rain/sleet and winds 15-20 mph. You don't even feel the nastiness when they're biting.
