A friend and I fished Mill Meadow in our tubes from 9:30 until about 12:00 using fly gear. The reservoir is nearly full and ice free. We picked up a few browns and tigers using various leech patterns and buggers in size 8. We were using both medium and fast sinking lines. The water temperature was 45 degrees and the visibility in the water of about 2'. The fish we caught were really skinny. I've never seen fish that thin that were still alive.[:/]
We got out at noon and drove up to Forsyth and fished until about 3:00 and picked up a few splake and tiger using the same gear. These fish were in much better shape as you can see from the pics. The water temperature was 45-47 degrees and the visibility in the water of about 4'. The reservoir is full and ice free. Most of the fish we caught came from water 10' - 15' deep and away from the shore line.
It was a fun day on the water and I got to see a good friend that was catching his own share of the fish from shore.
We all managed to put some meat on the table.[
