Water Off….Water On….Water Off!
The weather seems to be a little like the water right now. Chances for rain…well maybe later. Must say, the chances for rain next week have increased from the 40-50% to 80-90%, so it looks like we might get some rain. Temperatures will continue to be quite warm. 90s tomorrow, then 80s to high 70s through the balance of the week and into the weekend. Sunday and Monday are, right now, looking dry.
Last Thursday, we did not see generation until around 2:00 p.m. On Friday, they kept it off until 11:00 a.m. However, for the weekend, they cranked up the generators by 7:00 a.m. Same thing for Monday. Today, no generation until 1:00 p.m. How sweet!
Dana on the water last Thursday when the generators were off. Great day for Rick and his father, Rick. The fish were hitting just about everything they threw which included the P&P, copperhead, rusty and ruby 2 midges. Carolyn had Gary and Berry on the water. Same thing for this group. Found a pod of fish and just kept hauling them in on the black midge, ruby 2, P&P and stripping a tiger tail. One dreams of days like this!
Friday, Gary and Berry spent another half day on the water with Carolyn. Another great day but they turned on 2 units at 11:00 a.m. and another one an hour later. It was another unbelievable day on the ruby 2 and mini sculpin. Fish just seemed to be podded up in most, if not all, the places we stopped.
Sunday, a couple of students from our Saturday clinic, had booked a half day trip to try out what they learned in the clinic. Felicia and her brother Clay were on the water
with Carolyn. A really good day for these two catching fish on the ruby 2, and stripping either a tiger tail or holographic green crackleback. Both were throwing a good line and catching of fish.
Monday and Tuesday, Jerry and his wife, Cathy spent the mornings fishing with Carolyn. Fun couple of days. Lots of fish to the boat. Jerry took the lead early the first day, but Cathy came back with a vengeance on the second day. Ruby 2 (of course) was the midge of the day. Stripping it was mainly the JQ streamer. Jerry caught this nice bow on the JQ.
