Round Valley from shore....SLOW

[anthrax2244]

Took my brother from 6:30 to 10:30, started to the right of the concrete ramp next to the rocks. Thought it was gonna be a good day when a bow jumped about 50 feet infront of us...stayed in that spot bottom fishing powerbait for 2 hours without a single hit using 5 rods between us ...saw lots of bows jumping between the 2 ramps, one every 10 minutes or so. SAW ONLY 2 FISH CAUGHT from 6:30 - 8:30 and nothing afterward , one from the rocks (short), and one next to gravel ramp (maybe 16") Figured things might be better at ranger cove, tried that for an hour, without a single bite or any signs of fish. Talked with 2 guys fishing there who said fishing yesterday was the same. ...Went back to boat launch for an hour, fished between the ramps, trout jumping infront of us 3 feet in the air and crusing 15 feet from shore, guy next to us had one run-off on a shiner. Saw one bigger male bow around 20-22, a brown around 18-20 and lots of shorts mainly rainbows but a few browns mixed in...Not nearly the quality of fish 15 years ago . On the bright side, the weather was beautiful.
