mantua - STEVEF39 - 06-12-2012
Went up to manuta with a friend from work and JLG78, got the tubes in the water by 7am and hit the south shore with not much going on in the shallows. Jay was off in his toon so I couldnt keep up.Headed toward deeper water throwing lots of different buggers and NOT a single hit. Cruised back toward the docks and west dock and not a thing. Went back to the south shore and then it was on. A caddis with a pheasant tail was all they wanted and landed around 20+ fish and my friend around 30+ for the last hour or so. Got one decent sized fish and huge leg workout man was I tired!

it might be a long finnin' - but I found pretty good Gill action both in the SW corner, and the NE corner. If you're tubing it - suppose you could just launch off the courtesy docks around the N or S side of the lake.
That one's a chunky one! So do you have one of them action cam's?
Try any poppers? Double drop-pop?

Right on Steve. I will down size all the time if the fish are being picky. Nymphs work. I know the saying of big flies means big fish, but doesn't always work.
That is why the Haresear off a bugger/streamer/leech is my go to.

Yeah we fished the south west the whole day pretty much, their were a couple chunky ones but most were just little dinkers but for the size they put up a good fight! I have a action camera but havent edited it yet prob because I suck at it, it takes for ever it seems [

Glad you guys found the fish! I had one of the worst days there ive had in a long time.. Did the fish start biting when it warmed up? I left at 1030 with not much to brag about.

It was really bad till you left [
], when I headed back over to the south shore we fished right against the brush line, and used a cadis with about a 2 foot dropper that had a pheasant tail, as soon as it hit the bottom it was fish on about every couple casts all along the shore line, stiil no LMB so I hope we can head up to pineview this next week, Youll have to bring along your lady if she still wants too! Ill let you know what days I can go and hopefully it works out, sorry didnt see you much you move alot faster than me, its sucks kickin around in that tube all day going to have to get me a new rig soon that was a lot of work [bob][signature]
