ÜberFly Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Gang, What gear do y'all reco for Police Outpost Lake... I haven't fly fished still waters but I'm thinking 14' leaders, sinking lines (inter or fast), chonies, scuds, other emergers, leeches, shrimp patterns?! I've heard that for summer still waters damsel fly nymph patterns are good... What else?! Any/all advise is appreciated Thanks in advance... Cheers, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbadbrent Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 No need for 14 foot leaders if your using the sinking lines. I can tell you that when we were at BH there, we were using 2-3 foot leaders under an indicator and hitting a ton right next to the shore. You'll be fine fishing leechs and cronies that early in the season.. stock up on wooly buggers in black/brown/olive, and chronies in multitude of colors, and some marabou leechs, and you'll be set. Hardly even need sinking lines that early in the season, specially with the winter we're having, they'll still be close to the shore and not too deep yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloom Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Chronies and leeches under indicator. Straight tippet to fly line with indicator on it...swivel...fluorocarbon...leech...chronie tied to the 10'' tag end from the leech. Come to the conclave in Lethbridge in a week and get more details.

Nick0Danger Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 It will be awesome been tying up a million leechs and cronies. Hopefully the weather is good and the fish cooperative. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I will be there and will be bringing two rods on the boat. One with a floating line and a 14' leader, for fishing under indies or hopefully without them - you can always move an indy down if you have to. One rigged up for a slime line (clear int sink) or a type III fullsink with a 12" long leader. Flieswise: Chronies in different colors from 12-16 Leeches from 8-16 in black, brown, olive, claret, plus a few #2 or #4 for trolling the shallows at night Weevils or pheasant tails, size 14-18 Bloodworms, size 14-18 Scuds, 12-16 in olive, tan, and maybe a few orange for the preggies With any luck we'll hit the heart of the chronie hatches, but you never know what you're going to run into. Odds are that it'll be chronies under indicators, but sometimes you gotta switch it up to find the big boys. Haven't fished there in over 10 years. I'm pumped - Police is an unreal lake with massive potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be bringing a #3 as well in case the wind dies off a bit here and there (which, to call a spade a spade, is unlikely at best). The SA express is probably not going to be much help unless you can rip flies back to the boat. It just gets down waaay to quick. Police isn't a very deep lake.
