Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 30, 2018 Root Admin Posted March 30, 2018 Very few days where you're going to find everyone not catching fish in a day... but today was that day here. Guides said it was tough... guests said it was tough... I took a couple of guys from 2-5 pm and it was tough. We caught 5 rainbows on white or white/gray jigs within a 1/4 mile of the cable at the dam. Fished slack banks the rest of the way to the resort - nothing. We saw a few fish caught on flies - drifted on the bottom and under a float (fly fishing). Mainly scuds, #12' and #14's. Some fish caught in the creeks but they were crowded with boats. Sunny and beautiful... first sunny day in how many days? Might have had something to do with it.
JestersHK Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Man that's no good to hear. Maybe the sun put them in a funk? Hopefully it's short lived.
vonreed Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Thanks for the report. Me and the boy went again and saw you. We only caught 3 trout and 1 bass. 1 of the trout had gorged itself with small shad. Probably had 15 in its belly and it was a small trout.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted April 1, 2018 Author Root Admin Posted April 1, 2018 I don’t like to go over on that side when someone is fishing on the bank but next time I see the canoe I’ll come over and say hi. Did you see me almost knock Jackson (black lab) out of the boat? I misjudged my speed and ran under the cable. Freaked him out and almost push him in the lake.
vonreed Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 No I saw Jackson move but didn't notice you got that close to it. One boat went 20 yards past the cable. I can see someone getting in a pickle, especially with that cable close to the water. Next time just fish down the bank, it's not like it'd be a big deal to the fish. I watched several boats motor up, stop, drop jigs and catch them within a few moments of shutting the motor down. If it weren't for you and this site, I wouldn't even think of fishing where I was, You'll never be in my way on the water. I'm sure Jackson will be watching that cable next time, haha. Phil Lilley 1
