I tried to cure a cold today.It was low overcast,mid to upper 30's & calm almost all day. Pool was full & little to no water movement. Water temp. of 40-42 degrees.Fish were few & far between. They were biting very timidly. One tapped on a black woolly bugger & that was it on flies. I tried black, brown, red and olive colorred woolly buggers. I finally caugth a few with a home made double whammy behind a 4/0 dodger. I tried multiple colors and leader lengths. I ended up using double whammy with 36" leader, ruby beads, black colorado #5 blade & black yarn in the hooks. Trolling dead slow was the other thing.C&R'd 4 smaller ones & got off the water with 2 that could have grown for another day. But, even if they're not big, some times you have to take home some proof!
Talked with a few bank fishers that weren't doing any good. I also talked with two boats at take out. Three guys in one boat had fished up by pump No. 1. They only caught 2 fish. The other boat didn't spend much time & was just learning the area.
I still have the cold but I'm sure it will get better soon.

Hey afk, some colds take two, three , or even more fishing trips to cure. LOL Thanks for the report and a limit is a limit. Enjoy cooking them up, and maybe next time out the fish will be more cooperative.

Hey guys, that launch looks slippery. Do you need chains or is 4WD enough to launch? Is there sand or something to put down?

Hey Nelly1, this launch is a slippery one! There is a barrel of sand at the top of the launch.(Bring your own shovel though.) Chains or 4WD are a must. I've had more trouble trying to stand up on that ramp than anything.
