[font "Courier"][size 3]I WENT TO WHITNEY TODAY BUT DIDN'T GET TO FISH BECAUSE THE GATE WAS LOCKED AT THE ROAD UP THERE EVEN THOUGH THE SNOW IS MELTED. I HOPE THEY WILL OPEN IT BY MONDAY 'CAUSE I WANT TO GO UP AGAIN. I FISHED THE EAST FORK OF THE BEAR JUST A LITTLE AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY ACTION. IT WAS HIGH, FAST, AND MUDDY. DIDN'T LOOK VERY GOOD. MY BROTHER AND I WENT OUT TO LILLY LAKE AFTER THAT BECAUSE IT SEEMED THE ONLY ROAD NOT CLOSED WAS OUT TO LILLY. IT LOOKED LIKE IT WOULD BE GOOD BUT WE TRIED EVERYTHING; WORMS, POWER BAIT, SALMON EGGS, WOOLY WORMS, WOOLY BUGGERS, NYMPHS, AND A VARIETY OF DRY FLIES AND WE CAUGHT NOTHING. WE TRIED FISHIN' WITH A BOBBER AND ON THE BOTTOM NOTHING SEEMED TO WORK. IT MAKES ME WONDER IF MAYBE ALL THE FISH WINTERKILLED OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE MANY PEOPLE CATCH ANYTHING I DIDN'T EVEN SEE ANYBODY GET A BITE, I KNOW I DIDN'T GET ONE. WELL THE BEST THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS TRIP IS CHANNEL 105.7 WORKED JUST FINE THE WHOLE WAY SO WE WERE AT LEAST NOT WITHOUT SOME ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE WHOLE WAY UP AND BACK. IF ANYONE HAD ANY LUCK ON SATURDAY LETS HEAR ABOUT IT, IF YOU DIDN'T ALREADY POST IT, IT WOULD BE GOOD TO KNOW AT LEAST SOME PEOPLE HAD SOME GOOD LUCK.[/size][/font]
