Well went out to try a repeat performance that I had earlier in the year. It did not happen. Granted it was a bit winder today than the fly rod really liked but I tried the same tactic in some new locations as well as the old spots. We were drifting to the rock faces that were getting hit with wind and sinking wolly buggers in olive and black, worked that until about 10-Noon with only 2 light strikes and 1 follower. Switched gears at about Noon and went to spin tackle with 1/4oz Little Cleo red/god spoon trolled at less than 2 mph, it was hard to stay straight in the wind but managed one fish in the middle of the southern end about 1000 yards from the boat launch.

Fish were there just didn't like the fly gear today, also didn't much care for the spinning tackle either, actually they probably just didn't care much for us. When we got to the launch a gentleman fishing next to the launch landed three nice fish on about 5 casts using a gold spoon, so the fish were there just not into us apparently.

The osprey caught a good 10 incher right in my drift line, took him a solid minute to float readjust and get back up with a fish that big. So I also know they were where we were because the bird out fished me again. I will be back just not sure when, might try fishtrap or williams in the near future.

Tight lines and heavy nets,
