Outing with GuitarBuildingAngler

[Cody309]

Hey Everyone!

So tonight GuitarBuildingAngler made the trek to Madoc to join me on the hunt for some stillwater rainbows on the fly. We got on the lake around 6:30pm. The sun was VERY warm at first, but a few storms passed by (luckily right around us, and not over us) and cooled it down a little. We watched this very neat cloud form, and expand right on the other side of the lake.

The trout were playing with our minds tonight. We likely saw 30-60 fish surface - ranging from acrobatic dashes out of the water, to the gentlest of sips.Try as we may, nothing seemed to work. We likely went through 60% of our combined fly selection to no avail. It wasn't until 10 minutes prior to us needing to leave that they started being even more active - surfacing closer to the boat, and one trout even took a pass at my black mudler minnow while it was resting on the surface which we thought was strange.

We managed a few small bass prior to calling it quits, but we had a fantastic time out on the water.

Great to finally connect with another OFF member! I have a feeling that you will be seeing many fishing reports from us in the future

Cheers,

Cody

I love that photo! I can't fish in an area where they are surfacing and jumping but not biting, it drives me crazy, I would rather leave and try my luck else where... Looking forward to seeing some lunkers!

Awesome pics nonetheless...the water looks great. Would love to drop some worms and see what sinks my bobber.

Though we didn't land any rainbows, it was completely worth the trip! We saw many rainbow surface and that was good enough for us. It was a great time!

Hey Madoc, brown trout coming up next!
