Managed to make it to Rufus on Saturday...Pulled into the launch at 7:00am and was shocked to not see another boat launching...Started trolling along the can line and did not mark many fish..Moved up the reservoir above pump 1 and trolled the brandts landing side and found some biters..fished for 3 hours boated 6 with the big fish tipping the scales at 6lbs. ..Black wooleybuggers were the ticket behind the old faithful Action Disc..water is real cold still at 36.5 degrees..I do expect it to really pick up as the weather warms..Hopefully Rufus won't get dirty when things start melting. Feel free to contact me on tips or tricks anytime.
