4/15/2009 12:24:00 PMHey Stamp...I know we're about a month behind so far as the average water temp goes...but perhaps the 'cold, windy days' did not help much either in this case. I know sometimes it can really pin the fatties down on the bottom as an unsettled low prx system moves through...especially if they're already lethargic due to cold water temps. The bottom line is it wasn't your time to catch fish...however, nothing can take the quality time you and Julie shared, away! -Mav

4/15/2009 1:55:00 PMStamp. Here's a little note; According to my Rick Taylors Astro Lunar moon table guide- Sunday thru this week was rated in the teens on a scale of 1 to 100. Some people don't believe in the moon tables. But I have compiled a 10 year spread sheet covering my fishing success and by and large, I catch many, many more fish on the days rated above 40 on my lunar scale. Sometimes coditions dictate success, but according to these charts, the 22nd of April thru the end of the month should be better fishing, with the 25th and 26th being rated in the 80's on my scale.

4/15/2009 6:36:00 PMHello stampie, Thanks for the great report. Sounds like the two of you had a good time regardless of the weather. A 3.4 lb Trout for Julie sounds pretty respectable from what I’ve been seeing lately. All of ours have been less than 2 lbs in the last couple of weeks.
