Quick Fishing Report

[Phil Lilley]

Caleb and I got out on the water last evening from about 6:30 till dark. Boated up to the dam and drifted the north bank from the old outlet 4 to the ramp 4-5 times. The best spot was the slack water there at the old outlet before the current picked up along that bank. We threw 1/8 and 3/32 oz jig, sculpin, olive/sculpin, brown/black and white and did the best on olive/black although the other colors produced too. They were running 3 units when we got up there and then dropped in a couple of feet, then they brought it back up, it seemed. Not good for catching- trout don't like that. We didn't do as well fishing the rock bluff/current as I thought we would. Talked to Tracy Frenzel, who guides for us, and he said he'd been doing real well along that stretch using sculpin jigs. I think the water fluctuation nixed the bite for us. We caught maybe 15- 2 browns 14 and 18 inches- and rest rainbows 12-17 inches. Had one rainbow about 20 on but it came off before I netted it. We did make one drift from the cable and only caught one rainbow before the old starting point.
