Fished 1100-1400 without luck except one sunfish. Lots of boats and pontoon fisherman out today trolling the lake. Didn't see anyone do well. At times serious gusts of wind which really made for tough fishing. Fished the eastern shore with dry flies at first, but no rises and nothing feeding. Interestingly enough, tried sinking a soft-hackle and had some follows and one trout hookup, but lost it cause I got so excited I had a bite that I didn't keep tension on and get a good bend to the rod. Have been having problems setting the hook - either my hooks are dull (although I've read people advise not sharpening fly hooks that have been "chemically sharpened" as it will only weaken the hook) or the fish are too small for the size fly I'm using. Been missing a lot of strikes somehow.

Gotta learn to tie a wooly bugger... Maybe they wanted nymphs... All new to me, so...
