We decided to go to Jump Off Joe this morning.

We loaded in around 7:30 am and were the only ones on the water all day. Water temp: 67° (surface) and 60° at 12' (the lake has a mostly flat bottom with a steady 12 to 15' deep middle section). Calm and about 60°

Began trolling with a Six Pack and immediately caught a small perch near the launch. Several more nipping bites were felt as I worked out to the deeper water in the center of the lake. After about an hour of little or no action we changed to Stillwater nymphs (with light green cases/tails) and caught two nice 12 to 14" Browns. Over the next 3 hours we caught 8 more Browns and 4 Rainbows with this pattern. One of the Rainbows was about 18" all others were 12 to 14".

All of a sudden it shut off....and we were hungary so we called it a day.

Tight Lines!

Good to see you did well. I wonder if they stopped rising or of the chromies changed phase and hatching pattern?????
