Fishing Report

[Don]

I fished Beaver for my second time, my first time back since the charity tournament in 04/2007. I visited with several fishermen who I met down there on my last visit. It was great to see you guys and know you are getting on the fish.

I fished canebreak from 8:00-9:30 and only brought 2 fish to the net. I then tied on an ugly midge and the bite was on. I caught 6 more until I had to stop at 10:45.

After running a few errands and eating lunch, I hit the same spot at 12:30 as the sun was bearing down. The action was still good as I caught 10 more stocker size bows on the same midge. I also had quite a few long distance catch-and-releases. I was having a blast while the cool water complimented the hot weather. I finally had to bring things to a halt when the horn blew early at 2:00. Great scenery and good fishing. I'll be back.

Don, thanks for the report. I've tried to fish the tailwaters in the late afternoon, but the level/current is far too high. Any ideas when they'll stop generating for fall?

I have not a clue. I always consider the weekday pattern, the weekend pattern, the current nationwide temperatures, and the lake levels. I still get surprised.
