I made another quick run over to HN today to fish from my tube. I launched at the state park boat ramp at 7:00 and fished until 11:00 when it got hot. I fished mostly south and west from the ramp. I used a fast sinking line (#8) and a size 8 bead head olive leech and a size 6 bead head white leech with a red UV polar chenille rib. I picked up a dozen or so small bluegill/green sunfish, a couple of small (6") largemouth, one 18" rainbow, and the surprise of the day, two 18" to 19" catfish. These are the first catfish that I have ever caught out of HN.
The water temperature was 71-72 degrees and the visibility in the water of about 5'. The reservoir is 79% full and dropping.
There were a few folks on paddle boards and kayaks but no boats while I was there.
The fishing wasn't fast but a tug is a tug.
