I did get a little cutthroat right off the bat just out of the state marina. But I hit the cliffs and although there were tons of fish on the sonar, I never had another bite. I tried everything I could think of. Even corn and worms. Every color of Rapala, big mepps spinners, several spoons and castmasters, rattle traps and jakes. Bright orange to black. The first one hit a small fire tiger color. So I tried everything I had in it. Nothing. I can't seem to catch them on open water at Henry's. The sea weed is hard to fish, but they have to bite something beside flys. The tubing fly fishing brigade was out in full force. But out of all them I only saw one of them get a small one. You'd think they would be hungry, getting ready for winter. Do I need to get my fly pole out? I haven't touched it for 15 years.
What works on open water at Henry's? I need help.
Bummer, you didn't get into them, I'm looking forward to giving it a go with you this weekend. We could try ice fishing tactics, anchoring the boat up and vertically jigging our favorite ice fishing jigs. Did you make it up to Staley Springs or stay on the south end? The weather is calling for possible light shower in the morning and overcast later on.
