Terry Beeson Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 I met up with Leonard (Night Angler) at 8am at Outlet 1 for some fishing. He was almost ready when I got there, so he headed down to the chute while I finished tuggin' my boots on. Two units running, but not much action at the chute. We did notice pellets coming through and the fish were active. About 9, we noticed the water going down. I had been watching fish across the water midging almost the whole time, so as the water went down, we moved out in the current. After we both tried several diffrent flies, I heard that familiar "splosh" and looked over to see Leonard bringing in the first fish. He came over, blindfolded me, tied one on my tippet, and we went back to work hauling in fish. All nice fiesty 'Bows with one Brown thrown in for me. One of the Rainbows went over 16 inches, the rest were in the 12-14 inch range. Leonard went back to the outlet trying to nail one of the big boys lined up for breakfast and I noticed my fly had stopped working. Well, the 16 inch fish had done the fly in. I tried a couple more patterns, landed a few more, but nothing like the action before. I was getting cold and tired (dang cold water to my chest and wind...) so I went over to talk a bit with Leonard and he said he was going down to Outlet 2. I walked up to the truck, rested a bit, and joined him down there. He got into fish there and we worked our way down to the rebar. We both had to leave around 2pm... Didn't keep count, but we both had between 20-25 each or so... A good morning's fishing for sure... Oh... the secret fly? Leonard calls it a TNS....
