Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted December 11, 2007 Root Admin Posted December 11, 2007 Boated to the dam this am about 9:30 with Jim and James Johnson. 2 units running about 705 and it dropped most of the time we were up there- very slowly. No other boats except one guy who came up later. 2 people in outlet #1 and no body else- later Thom and another couple of guys who I recognized but didn't know their names came into outlet #2 later as well- Brad Wright was fishing outlet #1 later. We drifted 3 times from the cable to the boat ramp. First drift we caught probably 20 on 1/8th oz sulpin/peach jigs working them close to the bottom. The other drifts were about the same maybe a little less trout to the boat. Tried white- not much. Tried brown/orange and did just as good as sculpin/peach. 7 browns less than 11 inches and the rest rainbows. About half were dinks (10-12 inches) and the rest over 12 up to one 18 inch male. About 40% were in spawning colors the rest silver. Good fishing fish... no real hot spots- good all over.
Thom Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 I saw you guys fishing. Fishing was great at outlet 2 again today. Midges and small scuds were the ticket. I landed at least 20 fish 12 to 17 inches. all in great shape. I fished from 9 until the storm came in. Theguys fishing the out let wer great sportsmen and we all enjoyed fishing the good water and sharing the runs. a pleasure to fish with gentlemen. Thom Harvengt
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted December 12, 2007 Author Root Admin Posted December 12, 2007 Yea- I saw you and waved a couple of times but you were concentrating on that float... didn't the guy downstream of you have a OAF hat on? I thought I recognized him too.
Thom Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 I wasnt sure. He was kinda quiet but very polite. I think I shocked him when I offered to switch places with him. I like to fish farther down from the outlet and he seemed to be more comfy in the exit area. We switched places and both caught more fish. There are so many good places to fish even when they are running water It is so rediculous when folks get testy. Nothing like the boat though but I thought I might be leaving in the water longer than I had planned if the ice storm moved in like they first predicted. Thom Harvengt
