It kinda seemed more like it today. Yes, still sunny and warm until tomorrow, but the fish seemed more alive than two weeks ago. Maybe because of the lower water, but I saw more moving around. Some just spooked easily, while others seemed to just be moving up and down the pool 'cause they wanted to. Some seemed to be eating a little more too, despite pretty light hatches of next to nothing. A few tricos, a few olives, a mahogany here and there. Had a pretty good morning into early afternoon. The last hour and a half had some good chances too, just below the LC parking lot. I managed to miss a couple, get weeded by one, and just plain scared the shit out of a couple more nice ones. There were a few good ones up and doin' it though.

Thanks for the comments Bob. That place is trying to come back!
ReplyDeleteI fished it once if the slough i was on is the same...few bugs the day I was on it, hot and still, and therefore real challenging... but neat water. Caught a few. It was before they renovated it. Fished east side only down to i think interstate overpass. Liked the creek and region.

That's the place Bob! It was more like "ruinovated," but its connected and making a comeback. It just lacks the wider, classic dry fly pools it once had. More of a channel these days, but starting to get some character back. It's still very silty/mucky on most inside bends. The renovation was supposed to get rid of a lot of that. Uh huh.
