On The Water Almost Every Day!
Had a cold snap come through this week. Lows one morning in the upper 20s. Next morning a little warmer, 30s! Looks like a run of nice days ahead. Lows in the 50s and highs in the upper 70s or low 80s.
Some spastic generation days this past week. Low one unit running until 10:00 a.m. then off for four hours and back to a low two for an hour then up to three. Or, low one unit for one hour in the morning then off. Two units on at 2:00. Tomorrow, Sunday it will be no generation all day.
Dana had Steve from Oklahoma on the water all day last Thursday. Pretty good day on an orange crackleback, olive wooly bugger and a leech pattern Steve had and wanted to try.
Friday and Saturday, Dana took Janis and Donna out for a couple all day outtings. Couple fun days for these ladies on the live wooly bugger and orange crackleback.
Carolyn on the water Saturday with a couple of her regulars Terry and Alex. It was a pretty good day for the on the Ruby 2 and P&P midges and a holographic green crackleback.
Sunday Jim and Dana had Kelley, Bennett, Sean and Jack on the water. Kelly and Bennett stay in the boat and Sean and Jack waded. Had his hands full! They good day for them on the Y2K, ruby midge and crackleback.
Dana back on the water Tuesday with Evan and Dan. Little tougher day but they got some fish on the Y1K, Peach egg and crackleback.
Anne and Anthony from Alabama fished with Carolyn Wednesday. Anne is a brand new fly fisher and she got off to a great start. Worked a little with her on casting. Spastic generation that day but it worked out great. Some wade fishing, but lots of drifting and catching with the Big Ruby, Ruby 2 and red D-rib midge. Dana and Gina had a group of four fly fishers on the water. Gina had Matt and Sam. Dana was with Jim and Glen. Dana’s guys were catching on a crackleback. Gina’s boat on the Ruby 2 midge under an egg pattern or Big Ruby.
Thursday, Gina took Bill and Kathi out for half a day. Good day for them on the Ruby 2. One of those spastic generation days where they had a low two units until 11:00 a.m Then off. Carolyn had Dirk from Kansas on the water most of the day. Good day for him on the Ruby 2 or P&P midge.
Dirk back on the water Friday with Carolyn. Another good day again on the Ruby 2 and P&P midges. Dana had George out for the day. They had a good day on the Ruby 2 and olive wooly bugger.
We have been seeing really good days and a day or two later, you wonder where are the fish? Certain some of that has to do with how much or when they injected liquid oxygen into the water. Also, please remember right now to not keep the fish out of the water any longer than you have to. They are fighting very had to live, but the oxygen level of far from good for them. You might notice we are not taking many pictures right now as we don’t want to stress the fish any more than they are stressed right now. Seeing lots of dead fish in the water. And, please wet your hands before handing.
