Made it to the red gate parking area around 6:30 this morning. Not too crowded, but was getting busy by 8 or so. Started just below the red gate fishing seams and holes. Saw fish moving through the area; flopping, jumping and swimming. Started out using corky and yarn with shrimp oil. Had no luck up high so we decided to move down to the field parking area and walked in about a half mile.

Kept with corky and yarn for most of the area till I pitched it in the trees. Changed it up to a chrome Little Cleo and picked up an 8 incher. 4 casts later hooked into a nice 22" metalhead. Didn't seem to put up much of a fight, but we landed and bonked the hatchery fish.

Went back up to the red gate with our spoons and gave it another go for about and hour and a half, but by that time fishing seemed to slow down. Saw a lot of fish pulled out today and had some great conversations with fellow fishers. Water was pretty slow and low.
