Fishing Report 11/23/2007

[JobyKSU]

Made it out for a bit today 11/23/2007.

Fishing was steady, but not spectacular. Fished the artificials only area and got a lot of slot and a few over.

Fish of the day was a 17 inch 'bow with a 13 inch girth. The picture doesn't do her justice, but I caught her by casting about 15 feet in front of the wake she was throwing.

All of the fish today were spirited and made a couple of jumps. The last fish of the day for me was a bright, beautiful little 4" 'bow with all of his fins. Natural reproduction anyone?

Pic of the slab attached.

I was out today. I got there right after the generation. Not a good day for me. I got one bow. I can confirm that the fish were very spirited. I saw several bows jump a good foot and a half to two feet out of the water. I wish I had gotten a pic of it. It was pretty cool.

The standard nymphs hit for me (ruby, diamond, zebra). When I got bored, I drifted a partridge and green soft hackle weighted under an indicator and had the line ripped from my fingers a couple of time.

Overall, though, I've had my best luck on grey and blue-gray nymphs size 18 or 20. Its my little secret, though, so don't tell anyone!

No matter what you throw, hold it at the end of the drift for a bit and let it ease up the water column. Thats when I got my best feesh.

cpriest might have seen you yesterday were you by change with two other people in the truck ? parked by the bathhouse ? if so that was my fat butt in the the accord

fishing yesterday was slow kept using the blue dun migdes that have been working. Only caught 5 or 6 but they all seemed a bit bigger than usual. It wont be too long untill egg patterns work ( if they are not working already )

I was parked at the access by the log cabin if thats what your meaning. I dont remember seeing an accord but i probably wasnt paying much attention, just wanting to get in the water. I was by myself but i was talking to those 2 guys. it was their first time over to beaver and were wondering where to fish. it was slow for me as well, got 6 or so to hand and several missed. i had 2 great strikes on a dark green soft hackcle, but i broke off and didnt have any more. the rest of the day i used a y2k, white r&r, and a ruby midge. all produced a fish or 2 but nothing got hot.

Wrong person then. I was parked at the bathhouse and walked down river due to the river being so high. I usually park at the dead end and walk up river but it was still a little too high for that.

Maybe we will meet another time

:cheers

just look for the guy with the big butt camo waders :lol

I was wondering if anyone had a recipe for the R&R fly? I've tried to google but have not been able to find it. Any help or description would be appreciated.
