Fooled Us... No Generation today

[Phil Lilley]

Schedule says 0 till 8-9 am today, then 50 mw all day.  Was looking forward to that!  Got up at 4:30 and instead of heading to play ball I headed to the dock.  Wanted to fish no water and do One Cast.

Got to the Narrows and there's current.  Not a lot but some.  Looked like one unit.  I said ok... and started throwing a jig.  Fishing wasn't as good as yesterday morning but it was ok.

I fished till 9.  Ended up below Stafford's old cabin.  Caught them on a variety of things but nothing big.  Seemed like the water was really slowing down.  It was.  They shut it down.

Went back out at 10:30.  Boated to the Narrows - no one there.  I finished with a #14 black zebra under a small float so that's what I used.  Caught fish on every cast for a while - all over 15 and up to 19.5 inches.  I could see them and pick them off one at a time.  They got smart.  I moved around, caught 30 rainbows.  Lots of fish at the Narrows.

Fly fishing is going to be awesome if they keep the water slow or off.  Lots of big bows.
