Beeman 1 Report post Posted April 29, 2016 what time have they been picking up? Anyone try out at MacKenzie yet I may check there tonight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foozer 194 Report post Posted April 29, 2016 Showed up at Current around 11 last night. It was very slow fishing. Decided to check out Mckenzie. Guys were leaving with nearly empty pails. Scooping a couple at a time. I didn't stay long because of work this morning. I'd say they came in late, if at all. 1 Quote Since we can not call female anglers "fisherman" We should just call 'em hookers..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did the CR last night as well, still slow fishing.. It did pick up around 1am, starting seeing and feeling larger schools coming in, but still only five or six per scoop tops Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
