I decided to hit a year round selective fishery lake today to avoid the opening weekend crowds. Starting bobber fishing AKA FlyPluncking around 9:00. Got quite a few nice fish using a size 12 brown red butt with a size 12 red v-rib with a white bead dropper.
The fish were in 14' to 16' of water
Around noon, the bomber chironomids started coming off heavily and the fish were keying in on adults on the surface. The bombers were a good 1" plus long with a orangish pink color when they first hatched. The next four hours provided some epic dry fly action.
I only used one pattern, which was a Lasha Raccoon. Red, pink and orange bodies all worked.
All the fish were hard fighting bows with nothing smaller then 14". Biggest fish was around 18" today.
Finally called it a day when I got down to my last remaining Raccoon. All the others had been pretty well thrashed.
Fun day on the water tossing dries. Enjoy summerrun.....
