[quote shadowcaster]My friend who is out here from PA to fish with me this week and I fished Strawberry Monday night. We were really excited about all that we heard about the Cutts cruising the shallows. However, I am not sure if we were just in the wrong place, but between the two of us, we only caught one fish - a 20 inch cutt my friend landed. My friend saw just a little activity and I saw nothing, and we were pounding things hard. Does anyone have any advice or maybe even could direct us to a specific place to go? We were fishing East Chicken Creek area ... and it all seemed pretty shallow. We are both from PA and not too used to fly fishing in stillwaters. I would really like to have the kind of night we were anticipating there. I think we may even go tomorrow evening if someone can point us in the right direction. THANKS![/quote]
Sorry to hear that Shadowcaster, I know you've been excited about this trip with your friend. I would listen to FG about going a little deeper if you are striking out shallow. Still might be a little early for the extreme shallow bite. Stay in Chicken Creek and head out a little deeper. Use intermediate sinking line and strip some buggers, don't forget to follow those buggers with a size #10 BH hares ear. KILLER! I hope you have butter luck!
