I would like to introduce my 14 year old grand kids to river fly fishing, I don’t know if the river is still high, they have never waded the river to fish. I’m thinking about going on the weber in the Morgan area, can someone help me out with some information?
Maybe some hints to the good flies that will be good now?
I have been in my boat so long i have not been in the river in years.
thanks
Go to the golf course in morgan. They will let you go down to the river and fish. Loads of white fish and browns. Pheasant tails hairs ears work great. If the water is a little off color san jaun worm or anything black.
The water level is down a bit so we worked the grassy beds in 3-5 feet of water. I found a deep shelf that went from 4’ to 14’ of water. And saw a number of fish along that shelf. They just were not playing nice. The majority of the fish were in 9-16 fow. I don’t know that body of water very well. But still ended up with two. I would have loved to locate the gills, I had visions of grand fish fry’s
I think it’s like most lakes, if you have enought time to check out the whole lake, you can find some active fish in some locations but most of us don’t have time to look everywhere. Most people that do good there, target them during the spawn, when they are close to shore. Seems like that was a month or two ago now and some members reported catching them along the West dike.
Worked the east side of mantua from the pontoon, only found a couple bass. One on a whopper plopper, which was awesome. The other on a rage blade. No bluegill. I grilled them.
