I got a chance to fish Rufus Woods recently, and found that although the fishing isn’t quite as fast as it was last fall it is still very much worth the trip. My fishing buddies and I were fly fishing and started out right up lake from the dock. I caught one within five minutes, but the action wasn’t fast enough to suit me, so we ran up to the first pump on the north shore. There were several boats hanging out there, which is usually a good sign. We immediately started catching fish, trolling flies. I noticed a fish or two surfacing near the shore so I moved in tight. We were trolling right off the edge of a boulder field and I was casting a black Wooly Bugger right into the rocks. Now the action really picked up. We caught several smaller fish and then I hooked and landed one of about 7 pounds. I am going to run right to this spot the next time I’m up at Rufus. I also finally got a good report on walleye fishing at Moses Lake. They are just starting to bite, and I am going to get down there as quick as I can.
