Day two.
I went back out this morning and the results were the same,-- lots of cats, the best being 4 or 5 in the 27+ incher range. I did not have any of TD's LHBE chubs but did have some 7-9 inch chubs I caught below the Scofield Dam last year. I tried big chunks of chub and wb chunks on 7/0 circle hooks. Picked up a few cats on each but wanted to try my PP flig again. I cut some 1x3 inch fillets from the chubs and the wb and tried them on the PP fligs -- the cats hammered both set ups. Probably could have caught them all day but the sun drove me off the water about 10:00. Fun.
Noticed lots of basketball-sized schools of baby cats in the channel. Could not tell if they were mudders or channels. The YOY wb were swarming after the emerging midges everywhere in the channel.
No other fools on the water today. Need to rest my arm for a couple of days then plan to get after them again.
