We had perfect weather Friday morning & caught a good mix of Roughfish on the smallish side. What they lacked in size was made up for by fierce action that came in waves untill about noon before dropping off. The star of the day was this little crome beauty - Highfin Carpsucker a diminutive soccer species that we seldom catch.
Saturday let me play host to a few new Roughfish Anglers including a first time Lady Angler. We had nearly instant action upon arrival at sun up with small Carp,Channel Cats & Buffalo Suckers kept us hopping untill we ran out of bait around noon.
We fished close to the Dam in heavy current to allow our method mix (chum) to spread out downstream (2oz sinkers required to stay put) The longer we fished the better the action became.
Canned sweet corn & popped up hook baits were the ticket
As always all Fish were Catch & Release -
