Eagle Mountain 5-14-11

Had repeat customers John, Roe, Whitney, Liz and Graham this morning. The weather was a tad chilly and the north wind was blowing pretty good. Checked a few humps and a point fairly out of the wind and only put 9 fish in the box for the first couple of hours. We decided to hit the main lake and found the fish really stacked up from 20-26ft on a ridge. Caught their limits in a little over an hour there. All fish caught on Ol'Ugly Slabs and yarn flies and flies by Flies-By-Night. Chartreuse and white was the color they wanted today on both. Tried white and it was not nearly as productive. The water had mud streaks from all the wind and rain we have gotten. Water temp was in the low 70's and was much warmer than the air temp. I'll have to post pictures when I get them. My neighbor who is in a high school photography class came along to snap some pics of the sunrise and fishing. Off the water by 11:00 so I don't know how the afternoon bite was today. School is almost out so I'll have weekday openings in June and July.
