JestersHK Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Seth and I made it down and in the water around 930ish. We boated up to the creeks and caught a few. Headed up to the dam and it was game on. White and sculpin in 8th oz or 3/32nd was the ticket. Threw a stick for a bit and had 2 nice browns follow but no bite. We boated 40 over this morning before heading in for lunch. Seth had big fish a nice 18in bow., And I had 2 small brownies. Fish are hungry though and had a good bite. I'll put some pics up in a bit as we're heading back up now to dam Daryk Campbell Sr, Quillback, BilletHead and 3 others 6

Bill Babler Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Gary with a bit of a Boarding House reach here. I'm going to piggyback on here with you Jester. I had Gary and Lynn out this morning on the upperend. We were the first boat to the dam at 0700. First 5 passes from the cable to the ramp we averaged about 5 per pass. Nothing big and a lot of the fish we caught were really long and skinny. Hard to believe with all the food coming thru. Most were chocked full of sow bugs and scuds with a round tummy, but not carrying the body mass you would expect. Didn't see any shad at all and only one gull and it was there a short time, so there must not have been much coming thru. There are thousands of gulls from the Long Creek Bridge to the dam on the Rock, so they are not there for nothing. Caught most of our fish on a shad fly but also did well on a size 14 Y2K and size 12 grey soft back scud. Moss got really bad for dragging the shad fly about 9:30, have no idea why but it really started flowing. We drifted out of the zone and down to Lilleys' using the scud and Y2K below the line. Had several more from Fall Creek to Phil's. This post has been promoted to an article Seth, liphunter, Johnsfolly and 3 others 6 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
JestersHK Posted April 5, 2019 Author Posted April 5, 2019 We experienced same thing with some moss and trash Bill. And yeah we worked jigs slow off the bottom for best results. Johnsfolly and Daryk Campbell Sr 2
