4TH OF JULY PANGUITCH PARTY

[richyd4u]

Spent the 4th weekend up at Panguitch, and yes...we knew we would not be alone, lol! Fished primarily the South side looking for big tigers. Had some thunderstorms and periods of heavy rain come through that turned the bite on and off, but for the most part it was solid. The epic mayfly hatch that normal happens daily up there was also thrown off, so that had some to do with it. We fished primarily off our toons in 2-3' of water using mayfly and midge emergers, damsels, scuds and leeches. Caught 90% tigers where we were at, which is why we fish that section. Tigers were fat and sassy and really going airborne and bananas on hook up, so fun. Had a couple on 24" + that smoked me to my backing and ended up busting me off in all the vegetation. Landed numerous tigers in the 18-22" range. Fun weekend and we'll be back up there in two weeks, can't wait!
