I needed a break yesterday and decided to head out fishing. It's always a good feeling taking a new truck out on it's first few trips, but the constant attention my new truck gets made this trip even more memorable - primarily because I had the place to myself and I could just relax.
The fishing ended up being really good at this super secret lake I'm sure none of you have been to before. I'm guessing I caught around 40 fish. Caught 1 tagged fish, which I reported the tag number to WDFW. They're doing population surveys on the lake. There is significant road work happening between the south and north ends of the lake, taking about 30 minutes to pass each way. Most fish are bunched up in groups thinking about activities other than feeding. The success I had was from keeping the fly in front of them as long as possible. I think they were biting it more out of annoyance than feeding. The next month or so should be really good.
