Canandaigua 9/14/09 Rainbow Day

[FLXTroutman]

Well thanks to Brett and his Saturday report, we headed straight up the east side north of Vine Valley and set up in 180 FOW. Marks were from 40' to 80' down and we set riggers at 50' and 60' and wires on 3 settings out 135' and 210'

Hot set up was Walker Deeper Diver in purple with mtn dew Spin Doctor with an A Tom MIk Hammer fly out 135'

the wire running at 135' out took 5 Rainbows in 2 hours between 7:00 am and 9:00 am. We took a laker on a black dot Spin doc and no see um fly at 75' rigger. Then switched to another mtn dew Spinny/ hammer off the rigger parked at 45' at had nice bow wrap up in the copper down the chute and lost that one. That was around 9:45 and we already had 5 bows and and 1 laker in the box and tossed back a shaker laker. Nice morning, most bows I ever caught in one outing, ever. Biggest fish was 5 lbs.

FLX, glad to see the fish we're still there! I tried to get those fish higher up in the water column to hit but just couldn't. Did you guys mark some bait through there also?

[FLXTroutman]

yes tons of bait pods in the 40 - 50 foot range over 180-225 fow and the bows were right in there at 40', down temp at 40' was 62, down temp at 60' was 51
