Fishing Forum

We got to Scofield about 9:00 a.m. Friday morning, and set up camp. Once we got settled in, we set out to the south east portion of the lake. Got the boats in the water and headed out. I did very well on Blood Mohair leechs (one with a chartruse egg head). Fishing was slow, but we got into a fair share.

Saturday I wanted to try the stretch where the dam is, but the old man took me back to the same area. Again the fishing was fair. This time I was catching them on the Blood Leech, but also a bead head Prince Nymph.
The fish fight hard as heck and are VERY healthy (FAT).


Sunday morning, got up and I headed down to the boat ramp (mind you, the area I wanted to fish the day before[mad]). We had the boats all loaded up in the truck ready for the trip home, so I just shored it.
I was using a floating line with a Hopper dry and a four foot dropper with either a Red Copper John, or a Bead Head Prince. I was slaying them. Nice BIG FAT BOWS and CUTTS. No Tigers though, but maybe next time.





All fish were released unharmed[cool]

Some GOOD friends told me to try the Blood Leech and I remembered I bought some Blood Leech Mohair from Dennis Brakke, so I tied several with and with out the egg.
Fishing all around was a little slow, the shore boys were hating life and all the boats that came in I would say 1 out of 8 had a good day.
Saturday was a little slow and windy. Dennis Brakke showed up and was hammering them. I switched to a California Leech and started hammering them as well, but I used the Prince for a dropper and caught several on it also.
But this morning fishing from the shore, they were all over the place. I think I landed more fish this morning then both days combined. It was HOT! and fun as heck. The guys around me switched to what I had, then started to move closer and closer.
It was all good though, we all got into the honey hole with a little timing down.
