The word is out that about 35,000 new triploids are roaming free at Rufus Woods Reservoir, and there has been a spike in activity at the popular impoundment. I have been able to sample the action twice, and although I found quite a few boats joining me at Rufus, the action isn’t what it was like when earlier “escapes” have been reported. I am not saying that fish aren’t being caught, they are, but it isn’t the non-stop sort of action that I have come to expect at Rufus Woods. The water level on both occasions was very low, the lowest I have seen it, and only when a breath of current occurred did the bite pick up. On my first trip only two small fish were boated. On my second, the action was again dismal, until early afternoon, when it really took off. In less than an hour my Dad landed two fat triploids and lost three. I landed one other small fish and we missed a few other hits. The fish really liked the particular Wooly Bugger, with action disk, that my Dad was pulling. I haven’t given up on Rufus Woods, but I may change my strategy and fish it early and late in the late, with late anticipated as the best.
