I decided to hit a local C & R lake since the nice weather we had recently has started to get the fish motivated.
Weather today was windy and it seemed to change direction every few minutes.

End up with nine fish to hand as well as a handful of misses.
All the fish came from 16-18 feet of water. Fish were in nice shape and pretty active after hook up with several jumping multiple times.

Best fly today was a red thread body, silver wire and white bead.
Also got fish on a snocone, brown with red butt and a micro brown San Juan worm. Odd thing is I didn't see one bug schuck or hatch all day. The few fish I pumped had lots of Daphnia, one bloodworm and one minnow or shiner.

Nice day on the water overall. Here are a couple pics from today.

Nice work. Almost makes me wanna reassemble the toon. Think I will wait a bit . . .

Bet that maroon v-rib & light pink head woudda killed em.........


Stonefish, rocking those deep water cron-e-mires

Chromer,
I agree. Anything with a red tone seems to work really well in the spring. The fish seem to be in agreement as well.

I've been getting some decent reports regarding the lake we hit last year. Just need a day with a north wind and perhaps a little less rain this time.

Love it.

Center row bottom = MONEY.

I was just saying to Chrome/22 that it's about time to break out the chironomid rods.
