Huntington Reservoir (Mammoth) from a tube!

[gofish435]

I fished Huntington Reservoir today from 7:30 until 3:30 from my kick boat. I used fly gear with a fast sinking line and various 4-8 size leeches in green and red, size 6-8 soft hackle patterns in tan/green/pearl and black/red/blue, and crystal buggers size 4-6 in black/green/pearl and black/red. The water temperature was 55-57 degrees and the visibility in the water was about 7'-8'. The reservoir level is at 93% full and stable, about 3'-4' from being full. I ended up catching eight fish, all tigers, from 13"-16" long. The fishing was much better than my results because I could not keep the fish on long enough to get them to the net. I figure I landed about 30% of the fish that I actually had on.[:/]
There were a couple of guys in a boat that got there about 8:00 and anchored up and bait fished. They left about 10:00 and I think they had there limits. The weather was great. Anytime you can get a day on Mammoth without much wind you better enjoy it.[fishin]
