[#0000FF]Went fishing with Bassrods. I'll let him supply all the info and pics. NOT.
Met up with gofish435 at Rabbit Gulch this morning. Air temp 40 at 7 am launch. Water temp 59. Glad I decided to bring my waders...just in case. It was definitely case. Water level still high but has dropped a foot or two from high water mark.
Started out with a jig and fly combo while crossing the channel to check on a walleye spot to the north. Pesky rainbows bent my stick and stretched my string. Jumped and frolicked a bit too. Kept a couple and released a half dozen or so.
Saw very few fish on sonar. Wonder if all the boats and campers...and jet skis...had anything to do with that. The camping area was as full as on a summer weekend. And I'm sure they didn't all just arrive with us on Monday morning. Fishies were living in a blender all weekend.
Sent down a lot of offerings to try to find something besides trout. Mostly quiet on the fishing front. Over about 5 hours I managed one perch, one small smallie and one sixteen inch walleye. But I did see a few more fish in some areas...all with their middle fins upraised. Never did see any schools or real concentrations. Singles here and there.
Tom and his fishing buddy Steve scored a few on flies. Saw Tom playing with several trout and was there to record his epic battle with a nice little smallie. They have been getting some nice walleyes on flies too but hadn't got any today by the time I boogied around noon.
I started heading in after a long period of inactivity about 11:30. Right on cue the power squadron started tuning up and the east breeze began to get a little huffy. Water temp had made it past 60...but needs a few more degrees to get the fish more active.
Good seeing you again Tom and thanks for the hooks.
