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
