Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted November 20, 2005 Root Admin Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
