Fly Fishing Report - July 29, 2010

Well, it's taken a little longer than usual this year, but the fish are starting to
bite in McGee Bay (FINALLY!) We have been fishing several different areas out in
McGee starting with the very shallow water near the mouth of the creek. You will
want to find a large weed free area, or a wide section of the creek channel. Drop
a small size-16 Pheasant Tail as your top fly, with a small Shaft Emerger on the bottom.
Just remember to anchor up in the weeds, put your flies in the clear areas, If you
put your boat in the channels, the fish will spook and move else where. The second
area we have been fishing is outside the main weed beds in 10 or 11 feet of water.
Here again, back up off of the weed beds and cast towards the edges. The fish have
been using these weed edges to feed. The top flies here have been a Punk Perch as
the top fly, and a Shaft Emerger on the bottom. The last place to hit in McGee is
out in 13 to 14 feet of water. A good friend of mine picked up several nice Browns
in this deep water this morning. I've also had some good reports from a float tube
friend who has been fishing Little Hilton each morning. Start out fishing in 7 or
8 feet of water, then move out to 14 feet after the bite shuts off. In Little Hilton,
the Red Baron has been the top producer. Fish it 6 to 12 inches from the bottom for
best results.
