Rainbow Reservoir 05/10
Message:
Hey, usnavybro! Phish (aka Jed) and I fished Rainbow Reservoir from 5:45 am to 1:45 pm, today. It was beautifully sunny and warm, but the east wind was ferocious on the main body of the reservoir. The water was crystal clear in most of the reservoir and the water temperature ranged from 55 to 56 degrees. There was little to no green veg on the bottom. Anywhere. We threw everything, but got very little. Jed did catch a smallie, but to call it small would be an overstatement. It was tiny:

Why it thought it could eat a crankbait that was the same size as itself is beyond me. Jed also got a rock bass with his popper. I caught a yellow perch with a floating Rapala stickbait and a rock bass with a Gitzit soft plastic minnow.
I think that it's still too cold for bass, although we spotted several empty beds in four to six feet of water in the shallows of the western third of the reservoir. The bite should pick up as the water warms. Don't give up on it, yet!
