A buddy and I fished Forsyth Reservoir today from 9:30 until 2:00 in our tubes. We used medium sinking lines with size 6 & 8 bead head leeches, buggers, & soft hackles in various color combinations as long as there was some green in them. The water temperature was 40-41 degrees and the visibility in the water of about 3'. The reservoir level has come up a couple more feet since we were here on Halloween.
We picked up a few splake and a good number of tiger trout ranging in size from 11" to 17" long.
The fish were pretty active even with the colder water temperatures.
The were a handful of shore anglers and they were also catching some fish. One of the anglers left me a note (written on the back of his mussel certification form) that said they were able to get enough fish for dinner while also turning some loose. I know the guys and they always seem to be able to catch fish.
It was a great day to be on the water and not have to hang on to your hat.[
