I got up on the narrows about 12:30 the water was running perfect that was the first thing I noticed. Then the next thing I noticed was all the people just getting out and walking and hiking and a few guys fishing. But low and behold the trash was every were beer cans and bottles and other misc trash.. Maybe the place should become artificial fly and lure only at least that would cut out most of the trash. Well we cleaned up what we could whats new.. The place was still muddy in spots but a lot of the roads were drying up. We decided to fish a little lower than usual and had no luck. We met a guy that was taking a survey about how the public felt about the new dam we had some choice words for the guy. And the canal company. He told us that's how almost everyone feels about the new dam and that people were bring up why is that the cannal company is not looking at conserving the water that just goes to waste. Why are they not looking at pipeing the cannals so the dont get the evaperation or losing thousands of gallons of water just because of the absorbtion of dirt made canals. They currently use. And many other great ideas. I hope the canal company actually reads the thoughts and ideas of people who took the time for the interveiw.
Well we jumped back in and the next stop was the camp ground were i just started slaying them a bakers dozen easely myself and a decent smallie too boot. My brother ended up with 6 or so and my friend caught a big nasty carp throwing a shakey headed jig with a worm hahaaaha.
Then back in the truck and up river we went were I continued to rip some lips. The only thing that would of made the day better is the damn wind would of just quit blowing. Not a bad first fishing trip for the year.
many fish and just a few wind knots. if your pole guy you wont know what a wind knot is if you use a rod then you know what im talking about. The
thing is that theres not many big fish left in the river... Theres way to many sclupin darting around for them to be there. my average was 14 inchs and a few up to 16 and the smallest under 12 .... Just decade and half a go that river was just the shitzznick. O well thats what you get when peeps just cant let the big fish go. By the end of the day the river was coming up and from the look of the flow table the river will be running a little high for the next week or so if u plan on going up there plan on the river running in the high 5s or mid 6s. Well good luck.. If your into the eyes the water tempture was 42.
Gear I was using a 5wt fly rod floating line and sculpin paterns.. When they quit hitting the sculpins I did a quick change and threw leach with nypmph dropper.
Brother using a light spinning pole and blue fox spinners and small raps. very limited success. Switched to same fly set up as me and started catching.
The carp slayer med. pole and shaky head jigs and misc. plastic worms looking to lip a smallie or eyes. zero luck for him..
