<br /> Jim and I got up there for a few hours today... cold weather over the last few days, we figured the FnF would&#39;ve turned on by now. <br /> Started off fishing a shallow hump on the upper end. Water temp was 43F there emoEek ... didn&#39;t mark a fish. That water was definatly too cold so we headed down the lake. Pulled up to a point... got 2 bites but missed both. Fished another point, nothing. Finally decided to get up on the bluff walls. Thats were our fish were. FnF got the job done w/ 9-11FT leaders, and my little &amp;quot;Parksville Special&amp;quot; fly emoBig
was putting em in the boat. <br /> Bite wasn&#39;t really on fire but was good. We managed 18 or 19 fish in just a few hours. Most were 14-15&amp;quot; spots with 2 or 3 12 inchers. Had 3 going 16-17&amp;quot; and the biggest went 18 inches. Much better than most being 10-12&amp;quot; fish. <br /> Missed 3 more good ones that might&#39;ve gone 18 inches or so. I dont know what&#39;s been going on this year, the bigger fish have been coming off on us alot. Not doing anything different. <br /> Water temp was close to 50F throughout most of the lake and below 46F through the upper end. Weather was cold! Icey rods/line all afternoon! <br /> Had a good afternoon, Jim... ready to go again soon.
