 |
|
| Hit Rainbow from 5:30 to 7:45. Electronics weren't working so I don't know what the water temp was. Caught 5 smallies and think only one of them was a keeper. X-rap perch got a couple takers when twitched, jerked and paused near cover (wood). Sweet Beaver (sprayed grass/oxblood) got 2 relating to laydowns. All were in 0-4 feet. It was fun, but felt like a lot of work for a handful of dinks. Better than not fishing! |

Nice job out there! Non keepers are better than nothing at all! Hope those electronics are working by next weekend, or we may be in for a rough outing

| You can go pretty far up river to avoid the skiers. I've caught all my better fish more in the river than the actual reservoir. I don't think you'll encounter skiers from just below the old bridge structure on up the river. But you're right...there are a number of pleasure crafts out there at times. |

| I also just wanted to add that there were hundreds of empty beds. There are definitely fish in that place. A woman in nice tricked-out fishing kayak that I've seen a few times when I'm there had a great day a couple days ago catching both smallies and largemouths. She said she had a 5 pounder and a number of 2-3 pounders. All caught in 2-5 feet of water along the bank. The water level changes in the reservoir a lot. It can be 2, 3, even 5 feet difference one day to the next. I guess it just depends on what they're doing with the dam. |

phish........that lady your refering to her name is roxy. she fishes there often and does really well. i know her from another site. she can fish! she knows rainbow well.
there are some big fish in there. i have personally taken a few very nice smallies from there. i usually do not fish any further up then the old bridge. its a decent place if you hit it right. i have found current plays a decent roll there with the fish bite. anyway nice report. i used to throw that jerkbait alot for smallies all year round. |
