Big Priest hybrids
« on: April 04, 2008, 01:10:51 PM »
I have fished on Priest for nearly 20 years and finally after seeing and hearing big fish being caught, I did it. 3 consecutive days 9 Hybrids and 3 Rocks, all over 10 lbs with 3 ranging from 14 to 14.5 lbs. I was so glad to get my son in on the action! What a blessing! Now if I can just find where they go after this! ... By the way, Thanks for this website forum, I have enjoyed it very much and finally have info. to share and add.

Congratulations on the success.  But now as an apportionment paying UM'er you need to spend some time at work and not at the lake, unless of course you take fellow UM'ers with you!

Spooky Cnaeyscud - you must know me but I don't know you.

By the way, meant to say that these fish were caught in wind and a cold rain, the last hour before dark on 3.27 & 3.28  with a dry but "east" wind day on 3.29 afternoon.

Any idea where to catch hybrids.  I was smokin them for a while and now the river is muddy, and the lake is slow, cant find them anywhere.  Thoughts, opinions, ideas.

Thanks all - Icthus, those we caught were on bottom in 20 - 24 ft. water, temp was 58. WWent back last Sat. the 5th, only caught one - 7lbs. Very slow. That's the hardest part for me is finding them when they move, even looking for and finding baitfish - it's like they just vanish almost overnight. I guess it's the "transition" everyone talks about. Went Tuesday the 8th right before dark and my son caught one 11 lb. rock (pic included).

Kylemc, It was my son's $ which I confiscated as a guide fee (yeah, my services are cheap).

I need to learn a different method like Mike has talked about before using flies, jigs, live bait - all these were caught trolling diving baits.
