    Default Skunk on the Mokelumne

    I fished the Moke last weekend and got skunked! I guess it happens. Any advise for this angler? I fished out of the fish hatchery park. Flows seemed good and I saw some bait casters (spinners) catching fish but no luck on the fly rod. I was nymphing with 5x. I used San Juan worms, soft hackles, green caddis...nearly my whole fly box but no grabs. Usually I can get some fish and grabs. Wow! Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Thumbs up Da Moke....

    Cut off the fly and tie on a spinner. You can strip-cast it on a fly rod.... Better than watchin' everyone around catching fish while you're not....

    I was there Wednesday below the dam and got skunked, too. I saw fish rising but couldn't get any takes. Tried everything.

    Try a small black ant pattern or caddis.... 18ish
    Swing a wolley bugger too
