Just in time Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I found same cold water streak in 90 fow. After the sun was high I ventured out and had 5 rods go off at same time in 160 fow., Dipseys were hot, green fusion big weenie fly. Northport nailer Belding bait on 1/2 core and free slider on rigger 70 down, was hot bait for me.
Playin Hooky Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 Mike, we may have seen you out there. Were you still out around 1-2 PM? We made a couple passes in that 140-160 range, marked some fish but never got anything going. That area helped us finish out a limit on Monday but didn't pan out for us yesterday.
Just in time Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I only fish early mornings during the week. I am a second shifter so I usually pull lines by 10:30 am. I fished today with a charter and we were 7 of 12. Lake is still warm in Whithall and 130 to 160 is where I found fish they could catch. Biggest being around 16lbs. Had some nice fish on in 100 fow but they couldnt land them.
