Beaver Creek Report

[Phil Lilley]

Blake and I ran over to Beaver Creek this evening.  The ramp on the main lake is open but barely.

Ran up the creek - 5 pm.  WT 55 most places but as low as 52.5.

We stopped and fished in the field on the left past the bluff and found some small whites in 3-5 FOW around the bushes.  Started One Cast... then hit a few more places.  Didn't do much.  Went all the way to the Maiden Hole - Blake had never been on Beaver before so I showed him around.  Saw schools of blue gill up there but only caught a couple on a jig.

Back down to the field before the sun went down.  Fish were boiling all over the place - in and out of the bushes.  Blake threw his 110+ purple jerk bait (I'll get the name later) and crushed the blacks.  He might have had 5 over 3 pounds.  I can judge trout pretty good but not bass so... they may have been as heavy as 5 pounds... you'll have to watch the video and see.  He put them back in pretty quick - to get back to catching.

I threw a jig and caught a few but using 2-pound line and hooking that big of fish around bushes didn't work well at first.  I did catch another big blue gill and a nice white.

That was fun though... caught it just at the right time.  All blacks and spots were released of course.  We kept a few whites and blue gill for the table.

Video to follow.

I love throwing lipless cranks at busy fish.   Especially in those conditions.

 

 Nice jerkbait bass Blake 👍

You guys should have been in a derby. Blake had easy over 15 lbs.

Boy, you two guys didn't look like you were having any fun at all.
