Fishing

 We got out and fished Sunday afternoon, the water was low and had to launch of the beach but fishing was pretty good. Not a lot of fish but they were all real nice and have put there winter weight on. signs of fall are all around the reservoir. needelfish in purple and pink were the ticket along with the same colored wolly buggers when the bites on them slowed down copper bouyants worked.

Those are some beautiful fish. Thanks for the report.

 your very welcome and they defiantly set for winter

Very nice fish!

Great looking fish! It's nice to hear a good report.

Nice looking mess of rainbows! Thanks for the info. BTW, did you happen into any spiny rayed fishes???

 Thanks guys


None this trip last trip that's all we caught but we also didn't get there till late and left by 330.

Good looking fish DF, I really like the colors on the fish that your wife has.

 Thanks there are a lot of them in there like that I almost wondered if they were the kamaloop

looking at the stocking records you got a 2/3 shot at it. Seems like they do about 2 kamloops to every hayspur rainbow that they put in there.

 Thats what i kinda figured sure wish they would get some more size to them tho. lot of food and plenty of cover i don't know why Oakley doesn't produce some trophy trout.

Might be that it does but they key in on different things once they hit a size range. I remember reading an article a few years back on trout diets and how with browns once they hit a size range their diet flips from 80% bugs and 20% on other fish to the opposite. May be a similar type of deal that you have going on with the bows in oak or you guys just eat em before they can get too big!

Well that very well could be but they always seem so fat and full of crayfish im not sure if there are a lot of minnows but something has to keep those walleyes huge. lol i know a lot of them are taken for table fair i just educate them and release them lol

Great looking fish!! Ron

 Thanks Ron

I have a question, I have never been to Oakley Reservoir. Where do the floattubers fish on that lake? If I get there early I need to know where I should concentrate my time. Can anyone help a fly fisherman out?

 Most work the rock point straight across from the ramp and that shoreline south. those fish up there love leach patterns, your looking at depths to 30 feet in that area right now. good luck
