3-29-18 Report RAIN, RAIN, RAIN!!

Me, dad and two buddies went down  around 10 am and stood around like ding dongs in the rain for a few hours. The water is up several feet and up over all of the walk ways, but not muddy yet. Visibility was still around a foot. Fishing was slower than I thought it would be. Six or seven fish was all I managed, but one was a 19" rainbow that had came up out of the river. It's fins were in perfect shape and the flesh was very pink instead of the chalk white like your typical stocker. I caught most of my fish on a 1/16oz black and yellow marabou jig. The others caught all of their fish on an orange powerbait trout worm drifted along the bottom. Most bites came in the swiftest part of the riffles just before they dumped. You had to use a pretty good sized split shot to get the bait down or you didn't get bit.

Finally stopped raining here about an hour ago.  More coming this weekend... never gonna end it seems.  It's good knowing I'm not the only crazy one to fish in the rain.

No one accused of being crazy because you fish in the rain,..... maybe because of your marathon Taney trips... !
