| The wading is good with lake level at 653.4 ft |
February 13, 2015 Friday: My first trip to the Pot Hole
since last spring. The water level was
653.4 feet, which is low enough to wade; the three trees are at the waters
edge. The water was clear and cold; the temperature was 42 degrees. A road
project on river run extended a new road access to the powerhouse higher along
the hill with a gate across stating road was closed.

I started fishing at 5 PM
and the sun was down behind the hill by 6 PM. There was little wind or water
moving from the powerhouse. Just before dark, the trout were taking midges off
the top, with feeding rings seen in all directions. I had a few tugs on the Clouser
minnow pattern from curious trout with no steel to the lips. At 7 PM, the horn
sounded and water came through the wheels. I stayed until 7:30 PM. After a fly
broke off, my hands were cold and I needed to take a leak. I took these signs
to call it quits for the night. This will be my destination for the next month
and hoping for a walleye on my next trip.
