3-3-12 Stagecoach Tailwater day

Mark, Liam and I had an incredible day on the tailwater. I took 16 rainbows, a brookie and a brown from 10:30 am to 5:20 pm. Liam ended up with 7 and Mark with 8 in the net. I used self tied tung zebra midge with a green disco midge 2nd most of the day switching to a pearl midge second. We were 3 of 5 fishermen on the water all day. Temp was about 26-32 degrees and the water was a balmy 40 or so. Best day of fishing this year so far although the hike in and out from the entrance was a bit long and tiresome. I won't forget it... ever!

Nice fish and that's awesome that you got out there.

I fished it a week before you did right after the big dump. The hike in was painful, and the hike out is worse when you're tired of pulling in big fish all day!

For some reason, that place always fishes well for me. I haven't been in the summer, but I hear it is combat fishing at it's finest with people lining the bank, which is why I love fishing it in the winter with nobody around!

Cool that you got a brookie and brownie. I mostly catch bows with an occasional brown tossed in. I wish I could have stayed longer and tried to strip some streamers through there as the sun goes down for some big brownies!
