Well let me tell you all I am a new member and I absolutely love this website. I have to give props to flycasting for introducing to this website while we were "busy" at work. Anyways I thought I would give my first post since I went up fishing to Echo reservoir. I have been fishing there for a couple of years and always had good success there. So I decided to take my wife and father in law up with me to go fishing. We got on the water about 7:00 a.m. and got my wife's line in the water, two minutes later fish on, well she gets a tangle in her line and the fish gets away, then the rest of the day.................................................. NOTHING! we tried everything you can think of, rapalas, spoons, spinners, trolled flat fish, tried powerbait, green, orange you name it we tried it. but all in all we kept ourselves entertained, and had a good time. Anyways I am excited to be on the site.

Welcome to the site DF and thanks for posting your report. Too bad the catching was slow but at least you got out. What part of the lake were you fishing? WH2

We had originally started on the east side not to far from the dam. stayed there for a fair while then we moved to the west side near the dam. Then we trolled the whole lake pretty much the rest of the day. Do you fish there frequently?

I'm glad you've decide to join us. Welcome.

No, just once or twice a year now. Years ago I spent a lot of time there. When we were there on Saturday we caught 15 by the dam on the south side trolling by the buoys and that little cove there. There were also a few guys from the site that fished that arm of the lake near the resort, they did good also. Maybe the unsettled weather put them down. WH2

That could have been. We had talked to someone up there that day and they said they went up the week earlier (4/7) and caught 15 fish, then the following week (4/14) they didn't catch anything so that definetly could be a possibility.
