Had a great time at Magic today. We waited to see what the weather was going to do this morning so we got a late start, got on the water at about 1:00pm. We started catching fish right away. Nothing to big most between 14-16 inches.
The kids kept a few to give to an older fellow in the valley that doesn't do much fishing anymore. I lost one fish that might have been a really good one but he came off before he got to the boat.
We were using a wedding ring behind a beer can troller tipped with a bit of worm, with about 3 colors out. I caught a few on a firetiger trout killer.
I tried fishing for some bass next to the rocks as we trolled by but on the third cast got a rats nest in my casting reel that was terminal. I haven't quite figured the casting reel out yet.
I went to the east ramp today but wont do that again. I didn't like the narrow little road down to the ramp and it was a little too cramped around the ramp. I think the hot springs ramp will be my new ramp at Magic.
Hope all you dads had a nice fathers day!
