So that's why there were no bass cruising yesterday when I went to willow to sight fish them. I spooked one and no other bass appeared at all. The rainbows were practically boiling like wipers but would hardly touch anything at all. Tried flies, the jakes, and bait but only caught two on the jakes. Saw one brookie. Likely my last brookie from that pond this year was caught last Thursday. It was about 18". This 20incher is not surprising since about 3 weeks ago there were three or four different batches of brood stock brooks dumped in there. We caught numerous brookies right after they dumped them all 2-5 lbs, most were ugly with no fins. But still a big brookie anyway. These rainbows now seem tiny since for weeks now it has been just giant brookies.
