Hi folks,
We have had some serious rain here in the last month, 3 times the monthly average.
So i thought I would check out our local dam to see what might happen.
I chose the upper reaches because it was quiet and still, some fresh cover and it was generally overcast.
The place was picture perfect with a lot of lilly cover.
It was quite dark at first so I put on a cicada lure to test for surface action. No interest.
After a few sinking lures and some spinners I had to concede that the weed was too much, so with all the lilies there I put on my surface hopping frog.
At least i had some fun with hopping my frog from pad to pad.
I thought I saw some interest but it was the local lizards who actually jumped at my frog.
Anyway I saw no action today but it was really nice to be fishing at least.
We have here the upper reaches of Storm King dam where i fished
Then the headwaters as it begins on my place
This is the very beginning of a dam

Nice pics Pam. Have you fish over the other side of town on the Broadwater? A nice creek over there that looks pretty fishy.
fitz..

Even with no fish to the yak, you fish on nice water Pam

Nice Pam, my Pam's been at me to take her to Storm King for a fish. I may just do that now you've shown how good it looks with all the water. Thanks.

Nice shots Pam, your making me homesick.
Cheers Andrew

Thankyou everyone, I just need to coax some gnarly old fish out of those weeds. ::) There are some big and wise old cod in there.
Quart pot creek through the centre of town seems to produce for some anglers; at the moment though, it is running a banker and has flooded all crossings but the main bridge through town.
I saw a pic in the local rag of the dam overflowing a few weeks ago and I focussed immediately on a sole fish fighting to keep from going over.
I will try to retrieve and copy that pic ( if I can ? ) it is quite unique.
