Good day! I have a hard time picking any rating other than a 3 or higher even if I didn't catch any fish. My thought is "If I am breathing and fishing it's ALL good!"
At any rate here is the report that I promised. :) They have yet to release the fish in Beaver lake. People were waiting on shore for the trucks to arrive. Best guess is tomorrow morning since it is the last day of the week and they are supposed to release the fish this week.
There were about 7 or 8 guys on shore waiting for the trucks to arrive and not fishing. Only 3 die hards were actually trying for holdovers. One gentleman in a small boat had one fish on his stringer. Another guy in a toon was fishing weed beds along the shore and would every once in a while troll a fly across the lake to another weed bed. I suppose he was trying for both bass and trout or what ever might take his fly. Then there was me in my tube. I trolled a few different flies but no bites. I only had an hour on the lake since I had to go to work (and I had to pee like a race horse!). Even the local Bald Eagle didn't catch sight of any fish.
I did see one fish take something of the surface, it scared the heck out of me and probably him too! He jumped so close to my tube I could have hit him over the head with my hand. So other than that one and the other on that guys stringer that is all I saw.
Still had a good time though! :) Be heading back out on Sunday with my boy. Hope they have the fish released by then.
