Also, the nets are in the water Tuesday and Thursday so your best bet is
probably Sunday and Monday. But Justin beware of all the idiots, If they see
you catching fish(and they will) they will practically run you over to cast
in the exact spot you just played one.I got hit by a drifting boat yesterday
while fishing out of my 9' pontoon boat. I literally almost killed this guy.
He saw me reeling in fish after fish and decided there were no other areas
to fish except with in four feet of me so he started casting over me. He
then proceeded to snag my line three times and each time I didn't even
hesitate to cut his line and toss his gear overboard( a lead weight and
treble hook). when his boat hit mine it was all over, two other fly guys
started yelling at him and I Boarded his boat in a rage. I was ashamed to
lose control, but when I grabbed him by his pencil neck and just about
strangled him to death with my bare hands he got the message and got out of
there quick. It really ruined the mood of a nice day fishing. Oh and the
only fish he did hook, he snagged it brought it in and bonked it, The damn
poacher! But hey, the fishing was great.
Good luck.
Patrick
