Mantua 3/31

[Xmlfish]

I went and fished mantua from my pontoon boat, and my fly rod i caught 1 bass i was there all day if any one has suggestions on what to use for the next time i go that would be great. If you have any spots that are better than others that would help to i was looking for trout but couldnt find them.

Are you using poppers or a surface fly? Ive been out to a few lakes this year and I could be wrong but Im not seeing not too many fish coming to the surface this early in the year Are your using a sinking line or trying to fish the bottom at all ?

It has been a couple of years since I have fished Matua. Specially since some bucket Biologist decided to add a species he shouldn't have.
That lake use to have some Mamouth Trout in it. The Bluegill and bass were fun also.
I use to do well with an itermediate sinking line and a CBS leech or California Leech. Also Olive/Brown Gartside Softhackle. Also Prince and Zug Bugs.
From the boat dock, straight out to the other side.

The tandem fly presentatiom seems to work the best. Did you try that?
