Saturday morning, I arrived at Green Bridge and met Cliff, Mark and at least 3 other kayakers at the launch. It was a beautiful morning and there were fish jumping all around us. The water level was significantly higher (about 3 feet higher) than it was two weeks ago.
Very quickly, I caught one medium sized largemouth on topwater which was a a lot of fun. After that, I did not get a single bite.
I fished many of the same areas that were productive two weeks ago. It is a beautiful reservoir and I kept thinking that the bite would turn on any minute. Any time I changed lures or fished a new area, I was full of hope. The reservoir is very deep....much deeper than the tidal areas that I have been fishing lately. There was one spot about two feet from the shoreline that looked it dropped straight down to 24 feet based on a fellow yakfisher's fish finder. I would never in a million years thought that area would be that deep.
I cannot help but wonder if most of the time the fish were significantly deeper in the water column than my lures and was I just "fishing over them?"
Tridelphia is beautiful and close to home. I know that the fish are there. I intend to keep trying and also to try to meet up with anglers who know the reservoir...that is the best way that I know of to learn about new waters.
