duckydoty Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 The charts said on Friday that they would be shutting the water down around midnight so I headed for the lake. Got there right at midnight and the charts were right. Ran into Nathan in the lot so we decided to fish together. Went to the big hole and chased the water down. Caught a few down there on olive pine squirrels. Went up to the cable on the south side and olive pine squirrels were working up there too. Got chased off the water a little after 4 a.m. when lightning started getting a little too close. Ended up with 28 fish to hand including one 20-21" brown. Started fishing again at 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning at the big hole again. The fish were on olive and grey pine squirrels being fast stripped in. Stayed around the Big Hole till about noon then went back up the cable on the south side and continued stripping the streamers up there till about 2 p.m. Ended up with about 35-40 fish on Saturday before they turned the water on. Starting to see some nice fish. Hope the trend continues. Only fished a little while last night. Used all colors possable and picked up at least one fish on every color.

Terry Beeson Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Has the great and powerful wizard shared his secrets on reading the charts, Ducky? Yep... gotta get my routine down and get back to the water...

Troutn Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 I strugled a little with my casting the other night but stil had a good time. I think I ended up with about 15 to hand. I was using the same flies as Duckydoty except changed to white later on in the night and did well with it as well. Between the fall brown run and archery season coming up, I can't hardly stand it. I am equally excited about both and would have never thought that I could get as wound up about anything like I do bowhunting. Thanks for showing me around a little bit the other night Duane. Nathan
