Hadn't fished Ohop since last year. Decided to stop by on my way home from the in-laws. Water temperature was around 70F, overcast and a slight breeze out of the west.

Not a good day fishing at all. Trolled for a while after first getting there, nothing bit. Tried for some panfish along the shoreline under and around overhanging trees with a dry fly. Got no lovin' from the panfish. Caught two Rainbows after trolling the lake all day long. Spent most of my time dodging the skiers and jet skis.

Too many skiers that didn't give a rip about anyone else on the water. If I happened to have a cordless sawzall...I would have followed them...hid out until dark...and commenced to cutting their boats in half. These freaks would intentionally operate their boats as fast and as close as they could. Sometimes well within 20-30 feet. I am confident in my ability to maneuver my pontoon in rough water...however, I am not confident in "their" abilities at all.

Today was my last day fishing until I return from deployment next August. I was actually anticipating a decent day...which didn't even come remotely close to happening.

As far as I am concerned...may the fish gods smite Ohop with a toxic algae bloom, and its residents' pets consume mass quantities of tainted water...and the residents themselves come down with chronic swimmers itch. I doubt I come back....ever.
