I was there in my tube on Tuesday (09/27) at Mud Creek access. Weather was beautiful, surface temps in the mid/upper 50's, fishing was really slow. I fished from 9:30a to 1:30p with only 4 hookups, and lost every one! [frown]
Started with chironomids from 10-20 FOW. Switched to nymphs, then buggers, then back to chironomids. Very little in the way of visible fish/insect activity while I was there. Wish I could have stayed into the late afternoon.
On a strange note, I took a plunge into the lake to wash the smell of skunk off of me! OK, it was unplanned... went to get up out of my tube, both legs cramped up, and I did a face plant into a foot of water with my kick fins stuck in the weedy muck. Must have been hilarious to watch. [laugh]
