Scott’s Flat Reservoir – 2/28/2010

1 CommentScott's Flat

Today Jaysen, My daughter Cordelia and my son Bobby and myself fished with Dan Bacher the editor of the Fishsniffer on Scott’s Flat Reservoir.

We fished from about 8:30 am till about noon and had a great time as it is  always alot of fun fishing with Dan.

Well the fishing was slow.  We had one bite on a Arctic Fox Trolling Fly with a sling blade dodger right off the bat as we were letting out the presentation leaving the ramp on the campground side of the lake.  Then about 15 minutes later my son(Bobby) long-lined released a small trout on a Shasta Tackle Cripplure.

We headed over to the dam and had no hookups.  We then trolled over towards the Cascade shores launch ramp and Bobby long-lined released another trout on a copper Uncle Larrys behind a sling blade.  Then we had a double hook-up with Cordelia landing a small trout and Dan landing about a 1 1/2 to 2 lb trout.  Cordys was on a Fishin w/ Garys copper spinner behind a Vances dodger and Dans came on a Cripplure.

Right after we landed the fish the wind came up and the bite shut down which is the opposite of what happens at other lakes.  We usually like lots of wind when we are fishing the upper water column but not at Scott’s Flat.  We fished the main body of the lake and the creek arm then called it a day.

P.S.  Last week a fishermen on the lake had a 20lb+ rainbow follow his presentation to the boat and last year we heard the same thing happen to another fishermen,we have heard of some monster Ranibows in the lake but have never heard of anyone ever catching one.  Jaysen and myself had the same thing happen to us back in 2002 and spent hundreds of hours trying to catch that beast over two years to no avail.  You can bet we will be back at it again very soon with a fresh report of the monsters sighting.
