I went over to Pass Lake yesterday and met up with Leaki Tiki for the afternoon. Started fishing around 12:00. The fishing was a little slow, but I managed to bring in 4 fish and lose 3 or 4 more. All rainbows. I didn't see many fish caught the whole time I was there.
The highlight of the day was when I was casting a zonker to the shoreline and I had a big fish boil on my fly 2 seconds after it hit the water. I missed him, so I moved on and came back 10 minutes later. I made a cast into the same spot and as soon as it hit the water, he jumped halfway out for it and I got him that time. It was a nice 18" rainbow. :thumb:
I had the most luck with a small hares ear casted out and stripped back on my type III line. I didn't try any night fishing because I forgot my headlamp, but it would have been a good evening for it.
