Fished sunday...through the crowds and drunkards. It was fun till about 11 or so. Landed about 20 i think, spotted and smallies. Biggest spotted was about 1.5lb and biggest smallie landed was 3lb. Lost one that looked about 2X that, it was a monster. Hot flies: silver popper, till about 1030; olive bass bugger in and 8 and a rust colored bugger with blue hackle, in a 6. Good day. Was in my float tube, so range was limited. I need a boat to fish that place mo better
I use a 9ft, 6 wt for smallies, with 8 lb maxima. When through poppers I over lined with an 8wt floater and used an aqualux intermediate for the subsurface action. Seemed to work ok out there. Need a faster sinking line to fish the steep banks though.
