Got to Lincoln at 5 AM this morning to fish for white bass and bowfish for carp. Nothing but flies for the first hour. They were so thick it looked like smoke rising from the north dike.
As if on cue, the white bass started rising at 6:00, first one, then ten, then fifty. It was pretty busy for awhile. I fished just to the south of the boat ramp, inside the harbor.
Caught about 15-20 fish in an hour. Kept 8, including a nice smallmouth. A yellow roostertail worked the best.
Didn't see many carp, shot a nice 26 incher.
