Title: Mill Lake, April 4th 2010
Post by: Rieber on April 05, 2010, 07:09:29 PM

Took the boat to Mill Lake on Sunday. It was a little windy but still quite comfortable.

Tried Chronomids for a while but no takers - this time last year was crazy with several 70 fish days.

I remained anchored and put on a sparsely dressed un-weighted leech and with a 6" strip I was into a 4 big broodies and a few smaller ones.

I was solo in the boat so it was pretty difficult to get quality shots with my cell phone but I did manage to snap a few without dropping a fish into the boat or my phone in the lake.

3-wt flyrod made this fishery a blast. All the fish were released for more fun later.
