Club outing on Lone today.
The weather was perfect for fisherman, not so good for fishing. I think all the sunshine had the fish put down. Saw almost no rises all day. Just 5 hookups, nothing landed. Some of the guys managed to land a few. But they were few and far between. Low and slow was the rule of the day.

The highlight of the day had to be lunch. The outing host went over the top. Filet mignon, shrimp Alfredo, bread w/gotta and zucchini, great wine. And fresh baked brownies. It diffidently made the slow fishing worth it.:rofl:

I imagine the water temp is still pretty low.

Hey Jeff, if I would have know you were going to be there I would have come by to say hi and mooch some of that good food.

Don't know if you would have liked the crowds. We had about 20 guys there + that many other fisherman on the lake.

Had to go to the South Pacific musical at the 5th Ave with my wife. All the time I was there I was wondering how you guys did. Probably did the right thing despite the filet mignon. Earned extra creds. for the next outing.

What perfect weather for a club outing! I'm pretty sure I saw the Spring Creek Pram net one this afternoon. And to top it off, I was doing yard work.

Thanks for the report Jeff

Jeff, that was us out there yesterday.
Five of us fished up to 2:30 what great weather. I'll have to agree it was a little slower than usual for this time or year. In all I think we put a dozen to the net probably lost that many more, the soft takes were agonizing.

We pumped a couple of fish that were filled with Daphnia and a few blood worms and little of anything else which can explain the slow fishing. By mid day the surface temps were 46 deg.
The lake looks to be just coming alive we did see a good hatch of Chironomids for a few hours with some surface activity this also included a boatman hatch. Half the fish taken were on what we call the Traditional, #14 black silver ribbed Chironomid other half on Bloodworms. Largest fish taped was 21”.

Double D! Great report and information.

Any decent reports lately from Lone?
I can't seem to hit a decent day there lately and am wondering if the numbers are off this year.
Other lakes seem to be producing now..

Sunday there were a lot of fish cnr. My best luck was with a ligh and dark green bead head chironomid. A few other fishermen I talked with did well with bright colors.
