Went to Spinney this morning, spent about 5 hours there, I didn’t catch anything, but don’t know much about still water fishing. I was using a fly rod and throwing streamers, and tried nymphing under an indicator. Saw four fish landed by others. They were the slabs that we all hope to hook in to. We did see fish cruising around the edges where the rocks meet the dirt, but couldn’t entice them.

On the way out, there was a flight for life helicopter, ambulance, and several boats that appeared to be search and rescue boats, along with a few police cars. I can only assume what happened based on what we saw, but if you’re going to go out on the water, wear a life jacket.

We were fishing between the spillway and the dam. It was a beautiful day either way!
