LCR do-over

[Corker]

After LCR served up a stinker yesterday, I wanted to see if different spots would deliver different results.

The temp was no less than mid-40s all day, but the wind chill felt like the middle of winter. Water is still at 61* - 64*.


I covered a lot of water, but only found a modest bite in a few places. Apparently, the weather change caused them to move deeper. On Thu, they were in the 5' to 6' range. Today, it was 10'+. Most spots that have done well in the past delivered only a dink or two. My fish count wasn't reliable today, but the cooler count was 11 specks (up to 12") plus a 12.5" ringer.


The lake remains low & I learned that pumping in from Diascund and Chick Lake is on hold due to the cost.


I also learned that an abbreviated winter schedule is on the way. Currently, the plan is to open the launch ramp Fri - Sun, but to keep it closed the rest of the week.

At least ya got enough to stink a pan up:D Ramp closed Mon-Thursday??? What so every other weekend angler can scope out your spots?

[Anchor Man]

Well you did better that I did the day before, much better. I found them in CL in some different spots, but like you say a few here and a few there. Ya! bad news about the ramp being closed during the week.

makes it hard to find and keep up with there movements with the lake closed during the week days. richard with this up and down weather the fish are confused or maybe it's us tite lines jim.b

I think it is always us, not the fish, that are confused when it goes bad!

Definitely no fun battling the wind on a TMO lake but it looks like you found some spots out of it. Glad you caught a few.

There isn't a schedule. The grand plan is to fish every day--with exceptions for bad weather, exhaustion, and a few chores.

every other weekend angler can scope out your spots?

Right.

a few here and a few there

That's been the story for the past month. Water temp's up & down like a yo-yo & (as J.B points out) the fish are confused.

You can say that again. If it weren't for iPilot, my last two LCR trips would have been considerably shorter.
