Eagle Rock 5/21

[bferg]

Dodged the weather for a couple hours on the water.  Put in at the Eagle Rock parking lot at 7:15.  Was sitting under a boat dock from 7:30 to about 8:30 while the rain and lightening pounded.  But was good to fish after that!  We didn’t venture past Viney just in case more storms rolled though.  We were off the water at noon to avoid the next big band of rain.  So, not a long day but the fishing was good when we were able to have lines in the water. 

It was cloudy and a good set up for top water and we stayed pretty committed to that (an Arashi top Vibe and Surge Shad were best) and a jackhammer.  Fished Eagle Rock to Viney- caught 15 or so between the two of us with a lot of keeper sized K’, couple of nice smallies, and some LM.  All our fish were on main lake stuff- we didn’t spend much time in creeks or pockets but when we were back there we just didn’t get bites.  When we caught one on top water 3 or 4 fish followed it to the boat.  Each school would give up a few fish then be gone- but it wasn’t too difficult to find another.  Great time of year to be on the water of the weather would cooperate.  Lots of ways to catch them right now.  
 

Also- my buddy had a rainbow trout follow his jackhammer all the way back to the boat.  Wish we could have caught it.
