Arrived at Pass at 5:45 am. There was a little over an hour left before daylight. I was anxious to fish the new 4 wt. Scooter was there and he was ready to go. As I hit the water, my line was tangled on my reel. I didn't get the chance to fish for another hour or so. By the time I had fixed my line it was 7:00 or so.
Started off in the cove with a white bugger and picked up a 6" minnow. After that I headed across the lake and to the point. I lost a decent fish on the way over. Things got slow as I headed down to the rock. I changed up to a peacock bugger. I picked up a few hits at the rock and scooter was having a slow time. I knew that there would be fish down at the far end of the lake so we headed down there.
At the reeds, I picked up a couple of hits instantly. As I trolled towards the road I picked up a 14 incher. I continued and landed a 16 incher. Now Scott changed to a minnow pattern and started catching fish. I change and pick up another couple of fish too but it begin to slow down for me. He needed to head back because he was hungry and had to leave. I think we left an area that we could have picked up a couple of more fish.

When we got back to our parking spot, I had a few brews. Scooter left and went home I continued fishing and headed back over to the point and back to the end of the lake. I went back to my peacock bugger. I picked up a decent fish but don't remember the size of it as I made my way back down the lake. It must have been 1:30 or so. As I continued, I picked up a few bumps but no fish as I made my way down the lake. As I hit the end of the lake I picked up a couple more fish but nothing special. Changed up to the minnow Scooter had given me and it wouldn't even buy a bite. I change to a couple of flys before heading to the small end of the lake again.
Before arriving at "the point" I picked up a decent fish. It had started to get dark and I saw a big fish cruising. I planted my fly right where he rolled and bam. "Fish on". It measured 21" (see pic). It made my day to have a worthy opponent on my 4wt.
