Fish Creek Dam - Sunday, June 24, 2007

Walked around to the dam on Saturday this weekend (6/23) in the windy, humid and hot weather. Caught the nicest rainbow of my life (and being from Wyoming where that's about all I fished for, that's saying a lot). This was one of the toughest-fighting fish I've ever caught...took me about 5 minutes to land her. She'd jump, run for the weeds, let me get her in close, jump again, run out....on and on. Finally pulled her in and let the tired thing go.

Caught her on a black and glitter wiggle wart plug, reeling just fast enough to get some cadence out of it. Pretty slow fishing otherwise. Many fish rising around the dam, think they were hitting on the dragonflies, but it was too windy to bust out the fly rig and see. And man is the water up from last year, amazing. All in all, a very worthwhile trip.
