I hit the Lake around 1000. I was drifting in my inflatable (note to self - bring the ANCHOR next time...dummy.) and casting as well as trolling. I tried a black doc spratley on sinking and floating, red doc on sinking and floating, bead headed nymph on sinking and floating as well as black leach on sinking. 4.5 hours of gorgeous fishing with not a single fish. There were only a few small 3-4 inch risers and other than that the lake was pretty calm. A few boats joined around 1pm - no love for them either. They were trying Chronies.
A couple guys chucking worms from the shore hit a couple of nice 10-12 inch fish just as I was taking out at 1430-1445. Slow day.
It was really nice being ALL alone on the lake and watching the buffleheads and mergansers and hearing the woodpeckers working on their homes. The odd quad and dirtbike roared by but other than that.... lovely.
The road up to the lake has been deactivated - again since they have finished logging up there. The harrison main indicated that it would be closed at km 0 on the 9th.
Tight lines!
