taking my brand new float tube up to Gregory Lake this weekend and would appreciate any tips some of you experienced folks might have.

If the water is high don't put a hole in your tube on the NO SWIMMING sign by the baseball field. I put the first hole in my tube on this sign. It was just under the surface and I went right over the top of it one very calm morning.
As for hints on the fishing, what are you after? Rainbow Trout, Crappie, Catfish, Bullhead, Bass, or Brown Trout. (This is listed in the basic order of quantity as I found it 5 years ago). For the Rainbows and Browns try trolling blindly while looking for any structurethat might hold them for a little while.
Try Ultra-lite flashers and a Needlefish or Triple-teazer spoon. On extremely hot days try around the Fountain, otherwise avoid it like the plague. For Crappy try the cove by the Baseball Diamonds, and the small cove between there and the road on the right hand bank.
If you have any other ?'s ask away. I also know some of Silverwood.

Tight Lines,

I appreciate the feedback. This is only my second trip to Gregroy and my first ever in a float tube.

I'll be fishing for trout mostly - but enjoy catching those little bluegill and crappie too.

Thought I owed you guys a fish report from last weekend...

Didn't catch any trout - action was very slow and the only guys really catching trout were using lead core line and going pretty deep. I tried every spinner, spoon, etc. I had and didn't even get so much as a bite. Very unusual.

I did catch some crappie - jigging of course and that was a lot of fun.

It's a beautiful lake and usually isn't too crowded. A little tough to tube in the wind, but that's to be expected. I'll be going back real soon.
