I hit Dry Falls lake on Saturday, and got burned out, so we just drove
home today.
I was on the lake about 7:30 am until about 10:30. There were many
16-20" trout crusing along the shallows seeking a bite to eat, but these
fish were not worth focusing on, as they were selective to the point of
a fault. No chiros, leeches or dry in my box would do more than get a
quick glance from these fish.
When I left, there was a general concesius that one needed dynamite to
catch anything. I gave up, went back to the tent, took the dogs out in
the canoe, and waited for the wind to abate. At about 6 pm, with only
the slightest diminishment in wind, I head back out and fished until
dark. Just before dark, I had 2 hits on a #14 grey hackle peacock, and
lost one shortly after the hit. Neither felt all that big to me.
I thought I would return in the morning, and hit it again, but I could
not get up the gumption for almost certain rejection. I am sure that
many felt that way this weekend. I did hear that there one guy in a
drift boat that was doing pretty well. I saw him just as I left, fishing
in about 15' of water, with an indicator, under the visitor's center.
Rumour was chiros, but I bet scuds on a long tippet.
