Fishing Report

Gezzz... almost Thanksgiving! Time flies.

Drove to the dam this morning at 6:30 am just to find 3-4 units running at 706 or 7 may be... lots of water anyhow. Randy, still in town from KC, wanted to take one more shot at outlet #2 but there were 4 guys already there :angry: so he wanted to go up to #1. Two guys there and nothing going on. I suggested another place - took him down to the Rocking Chair Hole on the north side but the water was up in the weeds and lots of leaves in the flow so this am was a big zero for us. Back at the report by 8 am.

It looked like they ran alot of water last night from the water mark on the bank. Strange... not sure why.

Randy fished till dark last night and even later. He fished #2 most of the evening and landed 19 and 21 inch rainbows drifting a black wooly bugger after dark. Still not sure how he did that (drift a wooly).

I don't look for them to run the water long this morning... but I've been wrong before.

PM report-

Vince and I drove to the dam and fished from 3:30 till dark. Walked in to the Rocking Chair- water off. Midge were swarming us as we walked down the path and at the water- the same. Rainbows were coming up all over and Vince's first couple of casts with a zebra were successful. But that's where it ended. Our ability to fool these trout fell short for the rest of the evening. Not sure why- we both tried about everything in our boxes including #24 emergers and dries from the San Juan. We did manage a few but not like I would expect with that kind of activity.

They blew the horn 4 times at 5 pm and the water rushed down to us. Vince hooked a nice rainbow as the water rose... thus the pic-
