Karen and I decided to head back to Beaver Lake for another day of fishing. It was cold, overcast although there was no wind. The thermometer on the Jetta read 3C at 10:30 a.m. The parking lot had one vehicle in it. We layered up and headed across Beaver Lake. There were back swimmers here and there but the rainbows did not seemed to be keyed in on them. Some of the fly fishers yesterday were having success on bloodworms worked along the shore line although most we using leeches. Yesterday, we did very well fishing a leech (Glenn's Leech) 7 to 9 feet under an indicator. As soon as we did that, we were into the fish. The fish we caught were near shore along the drop offs. We figured that we had almost 30 fish on and close to 20 in the net. The neat thing is seeing the variety of age classes in Beaver Lake. Any sustained cold will cause Beaver to freeze over but right now the rainbows are looking for big food items before freeze up. The thermometer crawled up to 6C. We were comfortable but we had lots of layers on.
...a reliable source says that Dickson Trout Pond is ice free as well.
