Today was an awsome day at West Medical. Lately fish have been hitting the frog pattern flat fish trolled at 13' at 1.2 mph. But today they finally were hitting muddler minnows trolled on my fly rod at 1.4 mph. I was able to catch my limit in 45 minutes from 1000 hrs to 1045. 4 of the 5 fish were released in the water. I reel i n my fly rod to the leader and then dip the rod to give them slat to get off. I also fished with a larger hook fly (#4) and bent the barb down almost completely. The largest fish was only 18" the other 4 were 11 to 15". I use a sinking line with a 6 to 8" leader of 10 lb test then a 3 to 4" dodger followed by a 28 to 36" tippet with a #4 or #6 muddler minnow tied with a gold tinsel body. Most hit came at the far end of the lake from the boat ramp. Good luck and hope this helps you out. I'm the 14' Tracker on the lake with the husky on board.

Nice report. Good to hear that things are picking up there! It's a quick 20 minutes from my house. Fastest fishing hole I can get to when I get the itch!
