Bennett Spring 6-08-2011

1 night Bennett trip by Jim and Ray, June 6 - 7:

Water was still up a little and really swift, crossing stream below bridge was real iffy.  Color of water was good a green tint.  Ray tried everything and had some hits but was a struggle.  Fishing was slow however glo balls produced better than anything.  Tried bedspreads but no luck.
New hatchery is almost completed.  No top water action, however it was the 15 year return of cicadas (large brown ones)  they were making quite a racket, when one would land in water it sounded like a chain saw.  I didn't see any trout taking them.  Fished the island and across from gage house.  Had a number of hits just above gage house about 10' from  bank, missed most of them.   It was good to get away even if only for a one night trip. It got fairly hot in the afternoons, but a nice breeze made it quite pleasant. Brought some trout back to grill outside, they were really tasty!
