WALLEYE

When my buddy Bird started this blog, I begged him not to call it Obey river trout fishing report. My argument was that would pigeonhole the blog into one species and one river. To his defense, that was his intentions. He loves to trout fish and he loves the Obey. I can’t blame him on either point.

We hit the Obey for some trout fishing two weeks ago, I know Bird caught a couple, I was skunked. I am guessing he went this past weekend, I however went Walleye fishing at the lake. Dale Hollow lake to be specific.

Dad and me headed out from Cedar Hill around 11pm. The Walleye fishing has been tremendous the past few weeks. Dad has been slaying them. Friday night was underwhelming. There was a full moon. Dad says that the fishing slows down five days before and after the full moon. We fished till about 3am and caught two that were barely keepers. We were using the Husky jerk. I was using a clown color which seemed to be working better than the Tennessee shad pattern Dad had tied on.

The party boats were out in full effect. It made for a lot of noise on the water. It will be that way till after Labor Day. We plan on going again real soon.
