Fished Sunday in the Rockcliff area in our float tubes with UncleRay. Overall I caught about 30-40 perch only two were worth keeping and one rainbow 14" and weighted 1.25lbs. UncleRay nailed a fat rainbow it was 16 1/4 inches weighted 1.75lbs, it was caught on 4lb test and on ultralight pole took awhile for him to land it but finally after about 5-10 minutes was able to land it. He also caught numerous perch but only kept one.
We fished from 8:30am til 1:30 PM in the lake then fished the mouth of the Prove has is flows into Jordanelle where I caught the one rainbow. This fish hit the Panter Martin as soon as it hit the water and gave a nice fight.
All fish were caught on Panter Martins tipped with worm 1/8 oz weight.
It started off kind of chilly but warmed up nicely by 9:30. After spending Friday and Saturday trying to fix leaks in my neopreme waders I found I was unsuccesful in getting them all, but wound up with much less water in them than the last time I had the tube out. Ended the day with about a quart of water in each foot but some of that came when I was attempting to land the tube and leaned back to push off on the muddy bottom and all the footing came out got a nice dunking down the back and what wasn't wet before was soaked now. UncleRay didn't get a picture of me cause I had the Digital but all in all I still got a good laugh.
I posted the pictures finally. Including some with UncleRay falling out of his float tube. LOL we had a good time.
