Fished Dale Thursday for about 3 hours and had 1 nice fish on the fly. High temps high bluebird skies and no wind. Friday the fishing picked up a bit and I managed 5 very nice fish in shady areas with chunk rock near bluffs. Saturday I fished for about 2 1/2 hours and caught 5 fish on the fnf. It was nice to see the bright sun go away which I believe made the fish come a bit more shallow. The lake is as clear as gin so the previous two days were kind of rough for me with the fnf bite. I did not catch a single fish from any of my ‘go to’ spots which made things very entertaining. I love the more exploratory trips to Dale and I had a chance to go to areas I had not been to before because the weather was so nice for January. I too saw water temps from 39-44•. I think a little rain and stain would really turn it on. Until 2019...
