I fished from 9am-3:45pm. Weather was mostly sunny, high temps reached around 50 degrees F. Wind was 10-15 mph from the NNW. I put some hip waders on and waded out to about knee deep.
I used a #8 Beadhead black Woolly Bugger for a good part of the day. I experimented with a few other colors, caught fish on most of them, but the black seemed to be the trouts' preference on this day.
I ended up catching 67 Rainbow Trout.

On Sunday, October 27, I flyfished the lake again in the evening..from 4pm to 6:45pm. The last hour was fairly worthless. I ended up with landing 21 Rainbow Trout. The best fly this time was an unweighted white Woolly Bugger.
That's some pretty fast action there Dave!! Those fish look healthier than the ones they stock around here for the urban trout program , they've been eating well.
ReplyDeleteI agree these trout looked especially good this year. Many didn't even have noticeable "hatchery fins"! Some guys checked stomach contents of the fish in the lake. Turns out they are feasting on tiny snails!
