Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted September 3, 2007 Root Admin Posted September 3, 2007 Got out for an hour and 45 minutes... exact time cause our wives wanted us to go somewhere tonight... but they're not here so I get to write this report and post pics. Boated to Lookout at 5:30- Dave and I. Water had been running a bit but was dropping out. Threw sculpin 1/8th oz jigs and caught a bunch of rainbows. Had to get it right on the bottom cause they wouldn't come up at all to get them. Fished the bluff bank all the way to the narrows which took 1-45 minutes. Great evening. Almost all rainbows were fat and over 15 inches. All pics were of rainbows 15-16 and one brown on the 4th cast after "my last cast" at the end of the evening. Brown was very stocky but only about 18 inches. Fought real hard. We did switch to 3/32 and then 1/16th oz jigs as the water got slower and slower. But again, had to keep them on the bottom. Lost a few jigs.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted September 3, 2007 Author Root Admin Posted September 3, 2007 All the fish we caught fought very hard. The brown didn't show itself for 2 minutes. Was using 3 lb tectan and it was all I wanted with the brown.
