Thanks for the posts guys. I learned about the plant a week ago from my neighbor and thought it might be fun to go cast a line as it has been quite a while since I've been fishing....well, after reading your posts and seeing the recent report, I'm glad I haven't had a chance to go. Doesn't sound like much fun right now. Maybe when the excitement wears off and the crowds go away. It wasn't that long ago when I was the only boat on the lake without even a shore fisherman to be seen...These "opportunity" fishermen will be gone soon enough.

....and I hate waiting in line for the boat launch anyway. :)

I made the mistake of fishing Beaver lake Sunday morning. It was crazy!!! I have never seen that many people at the boat launch and in the park fishing. I now remember why I NEVER go fishing on opening day anywhere!
I think I'll wait another week or so befor trying it again.

Fished it today, only saw two fish caught the whole time by others. I had modest success fishing for the big ones, but I got bored so I just went a spot the big ones hadn't got to yet. This turned out four fish in the 14-15 range (measured).

Ha ha... I might be a taker for that rod.

What is the condition of that crappy rod? (Fixing old junk rods into nice fishable specimens is my hobby). Or, I might be able to use the guides or parts of the blank or handle as spare parts for my other projects.

Went to the lake this morning and fished from 9:30 to 10:30am. Saw two fish hooked from boats. Both were lost. They were still fishing so I would guess worms or power bait.
Lots of tubes and toons out there. I would guess about 8 that I saw. Didn't see any fish hooked by any of them. Heard one guy in a toon landed one and lost one.
There were a dozen or so guys shore fishing. I saw two fish on the bank.
Can anyone tell me what fly to use? I have tried a few wooly buggers in different colors and sizes but have not had any luck.
