Good times await those who venture out and "Live to be OnTheWater". Landed a good number of fish while on this outing. Most fish hammered a squirmy wormy. Four large fish were landed today; 17, 18, 20 and 20 inch rainbows. Simple fishing that anybody can do. I had a few sections of water all to myself. Great Blue Heron was my only competition and I saw a mink scooting along the far bank. Foul hooked a few suckers. Midges were all over the waters surface. Thousands and thousands of them. I think I saw 3 fish rise. In this area it is common to have fish sipping midges throughout the day. Bottom release tailwater fishery that maintains a consistent temperature the entire year.
