This is my 1st post, so here go's...... Went to the berry ( Chicken Creek ) got there about 7:30 am and the wind was blowing, but float tubed it anyway.. Not a bad day I ended up hooking 4 big Rainbows, the biggest being 24" about 5lbs. on a dark olive & a light green wooly buggers on WF sinking line, in about 18 to 13 ft of water. The water temp is getting higher ( 48 deg ) I keep the rainbows to put into the smoker... Good eats. I looked inside the stomachs and found scuds, tons of midges, snails and small pieces of crawdads. The big Rainbow I did find these two whole crawdads. Here are some photos of the Rainbows. Good luck Fishing everyone...

I usually take three rods on my pontoon boat. Intermediate , 3, and 7 . If that doesn't cover it then I'm not sure anything will.

Thanks for all comments, I use a Intermediate, 2, 3 sinking line. Looks like most are using the same.

Great report. That is a unique Bow. The 2nd picture really shows the wind. That amount of wind makes me consider bank tangling! Ha Ha Good on ya...

Great report. I am sure the pictures are fantastic, but I haven't got time to click on each and every one. (Love Photobucked with pictures IN the report)
Welcome to the site.
I think I use an Intermediate and a Type III more than anything, specially when fishing shallower, but I fish two rods at a time and I have the second rod with Type VII hanging at depth off the side.
Happily I have had several doubles and fishing two flies per rod, a couple quads gets the blood going.
Look forward to more posts. And can't wait to MID the Berry.
