Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted November 20, 2005 Root Admin Posted November 20, 2005 Did alittle fishing today. Met friend from my home town, Kelly Stammer, at the dam for a couple of hours of fishing - 7:30 am. he was spinning and me with a fly rod. Fishing was slow for both of us- not much going on. I caught 3 stocker rainbows on a #16 gray thin-skin scud under an indicator 4 feet. Kelly tried a jig and a rapala and go skunked. I told him to go back to the resort and take a boat out. He did but I didn't see him before he left. He usually does well. After cleaning the church and getting ready for our Thanksgiving dinner after the service tomorrow, I boated up to Short Creek and fished from 2-3 pm before I had to work the office. Again, not much activity. The lake was 6 inches higher than normal. I tried a zebra and missed a couple of short quick bites, then a #16 thin-skin scud and caught 2 small rainbows. Then stripped a #14 brown crackleback- nothing. Midges started coming off just before I left so I finished with a black zebra but didn't draw a strike. Bait anglers caught alot of trout between Short and Fall Creek today- best was night crawlers followed by white or yellow power eggs. Several said they had a very good day catching some really nice rainbows.
