Fished the Blue Stilly early in the morning today from 6am to 9am. Had a few small hits before the sun came on the water but no takers. After the sun came out I changed to a #3 homemade brass spinner and hooked into a nice rainbow (pics). Had another one on about 1/2 hour later but tension got loose as I was walking it into the bank and there it went (barbless hooks). The 2nd fish felt the same size as the first. After that I it got hot and the sun was high so I changed to a #2 and got a small 5" rainbow. Only saw a few other fisherman there as I was leaving and one flyfishing early. Fishing seems to be picking up on the Stilly.
