hey folks:
I plan to fish one last time before I have my knee replaced next week and I plan to fish Lone.
it has been nice to me the last couple of times out, so I figured - why not.
catching the 8:00 ferry and plan to fish till 3:00.
if ya ain't doing anything - come on out.
I know I wont have the lake to myself, just the fish - ha!

Good luck on your knee surgery. I know that you are in great shape going into the surgery and that will help a lot. If you get the itch you are welcome to come to a local Lake and sit in the extra seat in my boat and we can go out and enjoy a few hours or just go out by yourself if my surgeries give me limitations...

you want a report - here you go:
beautiful day to be on the water. was fishing by 9:00 and was ahead of the crowd which starting showing up. I would guess I shared the water with 12 people, including Steve and his friend.
I trolled the lake in my favorite area and starting getting some action in about an hour.
I got two fish back to back - one stripping, one on the troll. one on olive, the other took the black.
The olive was the hotter fly for the day. I ended up with 4 nice fish to the net, lost 3 others and missed maybe another 1/2 dozen- drive byes. Fish were 16-18 inches and put a nice bend in the rod - had to take them on the reel.
It slowed down for me in the afternoon and I watched two guys dialing it in with indicators and I believe boobies. I've never fished them, nor do I own any boobie flies, so I watched them land some fish. The closest I had were peach/chartreuse/orange colored egg patterns and I had one take down.
it was a good day on the water. I will live thru your reports while I am on the mend and am motivated to be ready for the Spring fishery.

tight lines boys. I'll be back on line by Xmas.
