GONE FISHING continued from page 1
47 registered teams, 22 didn’ t weigh in a trout!
At the derby dinner at the Lions club, we talked to lots of our competitors, and found that some had caught fish on the surface, some had caught trout down to 100 feet deep, and some caught none. All we could do was put today behind us and try to knock‘ em dead on Sunday.
Sunday the wind died down and the weather improved significantly. John and I started in the main body off Bass Cove. I had an Excel Hart Indian Special down at 65 feet for about 5 minutes before it was popped off the Cannon downrigger
Shasta Fall Trout Derby Top Ten Finishers
1st-- Brett Brady & Ron Hufford 2nd-- Manny Harris & Doug & Linda Reiser 3rd-- Doug Philpott & Tim Sellars 4th-- Gerry & Nick Flanagan 5th-- Dale Gibbons & Beittain 6th-- Nick Brito & Mark Duvall 7th-- Chris & Butch Jacobsen 8th-- Pete Duvall and Lonnie Dickson 9th-- Ed & Mark Grossman & Robert Barnard 10th-- Dennis & Dave Stoffel and we had our first trout of the day – a nice 19-inch, 2-½ pound rainbow-- a great way to start the day! We fished all over the main body from the surface down to 100 feet, and ended up with 4 trout to weigh in for the day. 3 of them came toplining a rainbow pattern Speedy Shiner at 3 mph.
At the weigh in, not many people had fish, but those who did had Big Fish! Brett Brady and Ron won the derby with a total weight of 22.50 pounds, with a weight of 14.5 pounds on Sunday that included a 4-½ pound brown and a 4-pound rainbow. They trolled spoons
and Apexes 100 feet deep at 3 mph. The second place team trolled Sling Blades with wiggle hoochies 25 to 45 deep at 2 mph. The third place team trolled Kastmasters on the surface!!! Obviously, the fish were scattered all over the place!
As always, we had a great time fishing this derby, in spite of the tough fishing. All the folks in Lakehead who put on the derby are very friendly and want everyone to have a good time. The
