Got up to Diamond Lake last week for three days with my folks.  The fishing wasn’t quite as fast and furious as it was the last couple of weeks.  Full moon?  Maybe.  Wednesday afternoon I trolled a wooly bugger, prospecting to locate fish, for a while with no action, not even a strike.  Then I noticed lots of chironomid pupa shucks in the water and set up in ten feet of water with a zebra midge and and a flashback bead head pheasant tail for weight instead of a splitshot.  It didn’t take long for the fish to find them.  Landed 8 in a couple of hours with at least that many more hooked and lost.  Most of the trout were about 12 to 14 inches, none of the monsters cooperated.  Thursday and Friday were about carbon copies of Wednesday with 5 and 11 respectfully (less fishing time however).

We had a good time.  The weather was very nice, even the wind was reasonable all three days.  Can’t wait to go back.
