A friend and I fished MM today from our tubes. We launched at the boat ramp and fished mostly in the UM Creek arm of the reservoir. We used fast sinking lines and size 6 & 8 bead head woolly buggers and leeches in black/green, black/orange, olive, and plum. We picked up a pretty even mix of small browns and 13" - 14" rainbows.
The water temperature was 56-60 degrees and the visibility in the water of about 4'. The reservoir is nearly full.
Most of the fish were caught while stripping the line in 15' - 30' of water. There seemed to be a lot of fish suspended around 18' - 22' down.
It was a nice day with very little wind until afternoon. The fishing wasn't fast but enough to keep us interested.[

We would normally be fishing at Forsyth this time of year but with the water users almost draining it last year there are just not a lot of fish to be had there.[:/]
