Heya Southernman,
I just got back from Haymeadow last night. The report was right, I caught over 30 fish and was able to selectively keep a nice limit of 5. I had 3 buddies with me and they were all bait fishing. Didn't do quite as well as I did, but they all managed to catch a limit. Worms, powerbait and marshmallows were what they used.
I played around with various flys, but a size 16 chironomid pattern was the ticket for me today. I even managed to catch a couple of small bass with it. I only got within earshot of the dam a few times, but from the brief snatches of conversation I heard it seemed as if that area wasn't fishing all that well. A couple of guys told me the bite was off as Cold Springs as well, but I didn't fish it myself.
I wish I'd of read this post before I went, I would surely have invited you.
Later,
Mark
