Tellico 3/10 and 3/11

I got to the lake both days around 5 and fished until it was to dark to see a float. The first day the water temp was 52.3 degrees and I caught 10 keepers slow trolling blue, purple and red flies under a float set 8 feet deep over 10-12 fow. Something interesting was that every fish caught on white flies were shorts.

When I got to the spot on the 11th the water temp was 54.4 degrees but, the fish were gone and I wasted quiet a bit of time searching for them in the deeper water. I moved my flies 4-6 feet under a float and slow trolled them over 7-8 fow as a last ditch attempt to find them before it got dark in 15 minutes. It was a free for all and I ended up just fishing with one rod and put 7 keepers (2 over 14 but paper thin) in the boat. All the flies were the same color as the day before minus the white flies.

As a side note.... I thought that my temp gauge was wrong so I brought my fly fishing thermometer that I know is right and there was no difference in the two.

Good report stay after them they will put some weight on in the next couple weeks

Thanks for report

Lakes around here, (middle Tn.), are reporting 50-52 degree water temp. http://www.fishingnotes.com/lakeinfo.php?id=27926
It is up from 45-47 degree last weekend. Way to stick with it.

Thanks for the report.... good to know
