Anybody with a boat want to fish pass lake tomorrow? I tried with a float tube this morning and hypothermia set in after 2 1/2 hours!!! PM me and we can set up some details. I just might wait until the afternoon if no one wants to help me save my lower half. Thanks.
i went this morning 1- 12'' brown & a couple of decent strikebut i couldn't stay very long, as i was in a drift boat and the wind really started to push me around. jason
I was also there this morning and earlier this week (yeah, wind was crap today, even in a tube). They're feeding shallow in high numbers, open water (aggressive now too)...just need to find where they're concentrated. They'll hit all day but action is 10-fold late morning. Trolling will get you a few but locating fish, setting up a zone and fancasting can have you losing count. Browns mixed in if you're in the right area. Shoreline still coughing up but not nearly as much as open water...you can elephant hunt there if you don't mind fewer fish (Hint: Other than your fly, keep everything 40+ feet from shore or forget it).
Guys fishing buzzers are starting to hit more as well.
i was there wed the 18th and i slammed them one after another on the eastside of the lake close the the shore trolling a leech pattern, like ford fenders said around 10am it really picked up.
Our fly fishing club (4th Corner Fly Fishers) was there Saturday. Most people caught fish. Best fish count was on a Green Seal Bugger with a "Pumpkin" bead head. I hooked 3 and landed one 17" on a chironomid (Randy Diefert's Liquid Lace design). My son-in-law had a couple really nice ones on an olive bead head wooley bugger on a sinking line. Beautiful day (just like spring should be!) Rick
4th Corner Fly Fishers indeed. There were guys coming out of the walls and corners Sat - I've never seen the lake that crowded. Fishing was still pretty decent if you weren't fishing chironies on the bobber.
We did have an unusually large turnout! Maybe 20 or so, and our food guy almost ran out of pulled pork for our sandwiches! The Fidalgo Fly Fishers were also there, adding to the crowd. Other than a little crowd at the launch ramp, it is a big lake with lots of room for everyone! Rick
