Dad! I am ready for the big one.
Apr 7,
2007 - Apr 20, 2007
Typical water generation has been starting at 3 -4 units around 6:00 A.M. and 11:00 A. M. Sometimes shutting down in the afternoon.
During lower water conditions (0-3 units) Gold, Red or Red and Gold Spoons, Mepps and Spinners work well. Night Crawlers, Red worms and Wax worms are also catching many fish. Some form of Power Eggs are a necessity for every tackle box. A lot of fisherman are using a combination of Yellow Power Eggs and Wax worms.
On high water conditions, the Gold Rapalas, Pearl Xcalibers, and Orange Bellied Rogues tend to catch more fish. Other lures that also get fish in a net are Brown Jigs and Red Worms.
Fly fisherman's best friend right now has to be the Zebra Midge or a Wax Worm imitation. Other flys that work are the San Juan Worms, Tennessee Red Ass, and the Fox Squirell Nymph (Bead
Head).
Good luck with your fishing and take a buddy along to enjoy fishing also
and to make memories of a life time.

"Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could;
Some blunders and absurdities crept in;
Forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day;
You shall begin it serenely and
With too high a spirit to be encumbered
With your old nonsense."
