Well this was the first time I have tried fly fishing at East Canyon. Got there around 4pm and stayed to almost dark. My buddy and I fished a nice looking cove about mid-lake.
I first tried type 2 sink with a black leech. Had a few very light hits, but no hook ups. I was in about 10-15 ft of water. I tried several other of my go-to flys, but nothng worked. My buddy, who had the fish finder, said there were loads of fish from 10 to 25 of water. He couldn't buy any either.
I tried fast-sink, intermediate, and floating lines. I finally hooked a small dink with a green leech on floating line. The last two hours, small dinks were rising quite frequently on midges..I think. I had a few surface on a Griffith's Knat, but that was it.
Any suggestions here as far as flies, line, locations on the lake. I would like to learn this place since it is fairly close for me. I have seen several pics of nice fish caught thru the ice, so how can I get them on flies?
thanks,
