Went to Pineview this morning, it is cooold up there before dawn.
Anyways, fished that North arm again and was skunked - I cant believe people catch fish in there, it is only about 3 feet deep in the backside. Didnt even get a hit.
Moved to my spots in the Middle Fork and saw a ton of carp surfacing - they looked like floating logs. I had my flyrod with me and tossed a size 8 all black wooly bugger and must have caught 12 of those ugly things.
Got tired of that and did some exploring and then hit another place that usually produces. Caught 2 bass here - 1 was a smallmouth and the other was what appeared to be a hybrid largemouth/smallmouth. It had largemouth colors but was stocky and had that bull looking snout like smallmouths, he had a tiny mouth for a 2# or so fish too. I didnt know that they could interbreed. Both fish were caught off of cemetery point on a 5" Yamamoto twin tail grub - watermelon with black and red flake.
Would have stayed longer but the wind was terrible, probably 25 mph+ gusts, almost impossible to hold a line in the boat.
Everytime I have been up there lately though, the wind really picks up after noon.
It is easy to get stuck on fishing the narrows, but that lake has so many productive places if you just do some exploring - lots of fun just tooling around too sometimes.
