Today at Green River

First thanks to all the guys that helped in the previous post--you were right the roads and ramp were clear all the way.

I got to Ramp One a little before 8 and was surprised to see a bunch of gulls sitting on the ice on the lake. I was not surprised to see the new color of Green now MUDDY. I put in anyhow and after a few long cranks the Yamaha started up fine and run great. BTW, if anyone every wants a recommendation for an engine Yamaha gets my vote. I have had that thing for eight years and the only thing I have done to it is change the plugs after the fifth year. It still runs great.

Anyhow I fished a couple of places between Ramp One and Butler Creek and did not have anything like a hit. It was just a beautiful day to be on the water PROVIDED YOU DRESSED WARM. There was patchy thin ice on the lake but it was melting fast. Believe or not, I never looked at the water temperature.

That is my report but believe me it was great to get out on the water.

Grumpy

Thank you for the report.

Love my Yamaha too best i have had.Terry Adolph:cool:

Put in at holmes bend Water muddy ....43 .........close to 50 and alot cleaner near the bridge and up toward snake creek.......Crappie shallow........

yep had a yamma once and loved it. Bought a honda when they first came out because some simple minded thug lifted my 7.5 merc off my boat on christmas eve, l;ittle did he know that the shifteing dogs were screwed up. that first japanese motor was awsome. It was only a 7.5 four stroke, but for steelhead fishing in thwe river it was perfect. Sold it several yrs later for the same price I paid, and the guy ran it for yrs.Sold the boat with the yahmaha on it, got another piece of american technology[merc], it was a dawg. Got a fourty merc four stroke now, and its three yrs old, never a bit of trouble, only thing wrong with it, it seems to make gasoline.But it was made in china, not mexico.

I made it to Green Friday as well. Started out the day a little late and ran into Grumpy leaving as I was coming in.

I was a little upset, the lake had my game plan thrown off. Last Friday the lake was about 5ft above summer pool, Friday it was back down to winter pool. I fished around Lone Valley and had a few nibbles on the jig and then I caught a large mouth on the FNF on a main lake point.

Water around 43 where I was at.
