Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach

It was an awesome afternoon! Low 70s, light wind and lights out fishing. 30+ fish day. Robert, glad you and Catslayer showed up to share the experience. I was happy to help you guys out with flies.....don't leave flies on the trunk and drive! I love striper fishing!

Yes Capt. They are some af the fattest striper Ive ever caught. They definitely have days that are on fire for the big fish and some you cant keep the little dinks off. Didja hitting them now I got stuck with stocker trout. They were on fire at least. I have a feeling he is hammering them perfect weathers for them.

Great looking fish! The river levels have making hard to get into the waters around here. I was wondering what the CSI was when you were out there?
Thanks....

Cfs bigpaddle?650 if so I have fished 1800-2200 where we are fishing and the fish are stacked on top of each other in one of three places. They are fish in a barrel at that point its just a very scetchy wade. Yet oddly I think it is scarier at 650 because you think you can push it more. 2000 you know for sure where you can and cant cross lol. We just take our time its still way to cold for my warm blooded Texan butt to swim. Just have to watch generation schedule there is one up on swpa web site. Just know its not always accurate.

Robert,
Wow...I didn't realize my post was that full of grammaticals. Yes CFS...thank you for the update. Keeping a keen eye on the flows...been a while since we've had this wet of a fall and winter. It will be interesting to see what the Sping holds for us.
Thanks again!

As Robert mentioned, I went back yesterday afternoon. Caught 19 fish with only 4 being less than 20". Biggest, 8lbs. Had one break my 20lb leader. I stuck it and it broke off with it's first head shake. Could have been a bad knot......could have been a monster!

@bigpaddle no doubt about it. We could not get another rain this spring and people will still be able to spread out. There will be a great run on every feeder creek/river on every lake period. There are fish in the rivers now already for sure already getting reports from multiple rivers as a matter of fact.

I figured you hammered them trout were on fire great stuff right there. Probably us being not really lazy but caught up in the action and not retying. Still had to be a big fish that invisix is tuff stuff!

Really looked like a light schedule till I had a manager no call no show. Lucky me it made me the volunteer lol. Yall should wack them. Text me when you do head that way again. My line of work things can change in an instant. Really is world class fishing in the words of Mateo. I plan to hit the striper few more time before starting boat runs for them. Good heavy rain will fire that up real quick!!!

Fished with Didja Getny and Justin yesterday, with decent success, though it sounds like the wonky weather threw the fishing from on fire to merely good (well I thought it was good...). Maybe 20 fish total, including five stripers around 20" and an entirely unexpected bonus 4lb largemouth. The rest were mini stripers and mag sandies.
