Coffee Cup--HOT..HOT..HOT

[Anne Vitale]

For those of you out there that have access to Coffee Cup Lake, now is the time to fish it. I spent Thrusday evening and all day Friday up there and it was about as hot a fishing experience I have ever had. I left because I felt I had pestered them enough and it was time to leave them a lone for awhile. Poppers in the evening and early morning, buggers and minnow patterns the rest of the day fishing the shallows. Mostly LM Bass (2-3 lbs each with a few up to 5lbs) w/blue gills hitting the smaller woolly buggers. They all took the fly deep in the mouth so they are hungry. ....Anne

okay.. a bit far for me!!!! thanks for the report though!!! very encouraging!!!

what rod wt were you using?

[Anne Vitale]

FishyMe...This year, because the lake was still relatively weed free, I used my Sage VPS 3 wt. Last year --picture below--I used a 5wt to haul the big ones out of the Lilly Pads. By-the-way... I had the entire 50 acre lake to myself for the entire day and a half I was there. Sweet and mellow.
