First one on friday night was on the very first cast, second was last night about 5 minutes after i got to the lake. Other than that fishing has been slow.
Sorry the pics are crap
I know in the pics it doesnt look it cuz its underwater, but i taped the second one. I could hardly net it in my 18" net. I have pretty fat hands too, theres 8" of fish or more stickin out of the water in the second pic. Next one i catch i will take a pic with the tape on it, deal?
Don't bother. It doesn't take much effort to see that if your thumbnail is 1" long, then it is nearly 20 inches from your grip to the lip. Enjoy your fish, and keep the memory for yourself.
No sense in harassing a fish just because people that weren't there want to call you a liar.
I got 5 very nice Rainbows - 17-21", and one smallish Brown (13") Saturday afternoon on a black Wooly Bugger. Fished along the east shore on full sinking line. I fished for about three hours but got 4 of the rainbows in quick order between 2:45 and 3:15 in the afternoon. Three, including the Brown, were hooked while trolling slowly, the other three casting along the bank and retrieving qickly before the sinking line got more than a foot or so down.
The half hour after sunset during the spring remains my favorite time on this lake. You can't beat casting to rising fish. Floating line, #14 or so chronimid or other sparse dressed nymph - fish aren't choosy at these times. Spot a fish within casting distance, see if he rises a second time, cast to where you think he'll be next. If it's a good evening it's not unusual to hook 6 - 8 fish in 45 minutes or so. Most evenings it's not that good, but catching a couple of nice fish in a half hour isn't bad. It doesn't last long, it doesn't happen every evening, but when it's good it's really good. If I hit it right a couple of times a spring I'm happy.
I've gotten both out of Pass and also thought the browns fought quite a bit better...That said, sure wish either of um fought like the fish up in the interior of b.c.
Last time on Pass I ran into another wff guy from Mi. I had landed a 17" bow and thought it was a dinker..he saw me land a 15" brown that fought quite a bit better..Sure wish one of those damn logs that follow you fly but won't bite would one day...Sure would like to see how those puppies fight...
Yeah i take back what i said about streamers. I just had like 2 days in a row that werent productive with them so i thought they werent working. Went to heart today and thats all i could get em on was streamers.
Hey Golfman, That was me out there. That fish did put up a good fight for you!
My one and only fish of the day was a nice 14in brownie that put up a pretty damn good fight.
