Fly Fishing Report Oct-16,2008
-------------------------------
Well, I'm afraid I do not have a lot to report. We had a
cold winter storm come through this past weekend, and it
kept all sensible people indoors for a few days. The front
passed through, and now we are back to our regular cold
mornings, and sunny days. I did get out for a couple of
hours on Wednesday to look around. The best spots continue
to be the island near Leyton Springs, and the 6-bays area.
There were not a lot of fish caught yesterday, but they were
all nice and big. Other places to check out would be Sandy
Point in 8 to 9 feet, and Leyton Springs by the point out in
11 or 12 feet.

Trolling Report October 12, 2008
----------------------------------
Well, this weekend turned to winter weather. But last week was an
all time week to be trolling the lake. The water temps and clarity
are very good, and the fish really are ready to play. If you like
to catch quality fish with not too many boats around, now is the time
to be here. Looks like the weather will be cooperating this week too.
Lots of areas are good right now, but the best area I found last week,
after being on the water Mon thru Fri, was the area from Green banks
through 6 Bays on the West side and around the Leighton Island on the
East side. Lures to try are Tasmanian Devils, size 9-11 floating Rapalas,
and Arctic Fox trolling flies. You do not need to put the lures right
on the bottom either, they can be trolled either behind leadcore or with
straight mono. This area is not really deep, and depths vary from 10-18’
that have been hot. Combos of browns, cutts and rainbows were the norm
for clients all last week, and fish over 18 were also the norm, rather
than the exception. These fish are fat and healthy. I would not completely
forget about McGee Bay either, as inside the bathroom still produces,
and you trophy guys need to think about the Harbor/Dam/Hilton end, as
the fresh plants still are concentrated there. I still see lots of fish
off Sandy Point also, but have not been really successful there. Remember
it is cold in the Am, and weather can change quickly. Bring all the cold
weather gear. Also remember to pinch the barbs, release the browns and
cuts, the limit is 2 fish over 18”. Get up and join us for some of the
greatest fishing of the year.
