Current Report
Fished the John Day @ Rock
Creek on Sunday afternoon
(19th) and at another
location (friend arranged
access through private
property) on Monday.
Summary: 3 rods, mix of
strict fly fishermen and
switch-hitters (fly or
spin). 1 fish landed -
approx. 24" hooked on egg
sucking stonefly nymph (size
8 Mustad 36890). Wild fish
with beautiful red coloration
on cheeks and sides. Strong
fish, but no jumps. Fish was
landed in the Rock Creek
stretch.
Other details: Water temp. -
40 F. Overcast sky both
days. Est. 50 F air on
Sunday, 40 F or lower on
Monday. One (:-)
questionable) report of a
bump on a spinner on Monday
by one of the switch-hitters.
Fished some very good looking
water, but just didn't seem
to find strong numbers of
fish. Fairly clear water -
bottom visible to about 2 - 3
feet of depth.
