Fishing Report June 11, 2014

/

This week found Cooper and me out and about testing the famous waters around the South Fork area and we were not disappointed in our results. Fish came easily to the bank at every spot we tried and it is very encouraging for summer to be a bountiful time for all.

With Beaver Reservoir drained for work on the dam, Big Meadows is going to take a lot of pressure this summer. For now however, the fishing remains excellent from the shore on the prepared baits like Power Bait or other brands.  My favorite is the little rubber like balls now sold in those same flavors as they stay on the hook so well and it’s easy to catch 4 fish without having to rebait.

And, while you are out there, take your gear as fishing is still good. Poage Lake produced some beautiful Cutthroats last week. And this Tuesday, I took some younger relatives to Big Meadows. Armed with the newer bait that looks like a small rubbery pea in pink and rainbow colors on a number 6 gold hook, we limited quickly. Bubble fly-fishing was also successful thanks to the clouds and a slight breeze. (Don’t let the parking area discourage you, there is shoreline a plenty.) Other area lakes such as Beaver Lake, Road Canyon and Continental still producing limits for everyone I know. The creeks are also very good right now and small flies will let you have a great fly fishing experience. Cooper and I will see you out there!
