Fly-water opens

April 9, 2009

The fly-water opener was pretty crazy with shoulder to shoulder fishermen. They started showing up about 3 hrs before the sun even came up. Most of the fish headed down river after the first day in fear of being stepped on. We managed a few nice fish on the surface and emerger patterns. I spent some time on Lewiston lake, Having mixed success. The fish we have caught this year have been quality. They are averaging 12-16 inches and are little footballs. The hatches have tapered off with the mixed weather patterns and we have caught most fish on #10 olive Leach patterns . Here are some photo’s from this week.
