]Today was my first trip out on my toon this year (actually since Oct 2011) and had a great time. It was a brisk 35 when I arrived this morning at 6:30 am. The reservoir was like glass. The water at launch (about 7:30 am) was 41. I had a hit and miss right off and then nothing for about 30 min or more when I had a second hit and miss. I had a third hit and miss and started wondering if the woolly bugger I was using was a little long or greased up or something. Marked lots of fish from 25-35 feet but they all seemed to have their fins straght up. It seemed like the birds were able to catch the fish better than I could. I finally got two online around 9:30 and got rid of the skunk. They were nice bows, small but scrappy. 1 thirteen incher and the second a 14 incher. Off the water by 10:30, my feet got numb and had to get home. Other then it a little chilly it was a great day. Saw a couple of bank tanglers as well. [cool] Pretty much had the reservoir to myself.
