Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 8, 2008 Root Admin Posted February 8, 2008 Water patterns have been fairly consistent. Very cold in the am- good generation till noon of after. Cool morning - medium water till 10 am or noon. But Saturday, even though it's forecasted to be about 22, then may not run any, but may. If they do, it won't be for long. Water running- head to the dam! Drift egg flies in orange, yellow and light colors using a split shot, ultra light, 4 lb line. Also try red San Juan worms, same technique. Work a jig. Weight depends on amount of water. Heavy generation- 1/8th oz. Medium generation, 3/32 to 1/16th. Colors, take a variety to make sure you have the right color. Earth colors- sculpin, brown, black, olive, white and ginger. Combo colors- sculpin and orange, ginger or peach. Work the jig off the bottom up and down, slow and fast. Find out what they want. Work the area all the way down to Fall Creek. Below Fall Creek, drift minnows, night crawlers and Gulp Power Eggs. Use a drift rig or just a split shot. Try anchoring on the side of the lake and fish minnows out the back. Good place is across from Short Creek. Water not running- midge hatches have been real good lately- early and late and some during the day. Midging trout on the surface: fish a jig-n-float using a micro jig in olive 2-3 feet deep or a zebra midge #14 red or black under a float 12 to 24 inches deep, fly or spin rod. Fish not midging, fish both but 4-5 feet deep. Also try marabou jigs in the same colors as above but in 1/125 to 1/50th oz. Use 2 lb line for most hookups. Fly fishing below the dam- try soft hackles in black or red in #14 to #18 above outlet #2 and below the rebar. Also down at rocking chair. Zebra midge under a float 12 inches where trout are midging. Got out this evening and fished Short Creek. Later is got the better fishing was. Nothing big but caught them all on a #14 black zebra 12 inches deep. There was a school of young stockers moving up and down, midging in a big circle. Couldn't help but hook a fish everytime I threw in close to them.
