Fishing Forum

Took my wife, son and his girlfriend out fishing for the day. It was a cool 17 degrees at the lake when we arrived. As the day went on it got a little warmer with a small breeze. The catching wasn't real fast from shore, but managed to catch four and loose three other fish. The biggest fish being two and a half pounds. The DWR officer patrolling the lake talked to my group right at dark. When I asked him how the fishing was for everyone else, he told us we had done the best. I asked him about the boaters, and he said he hadn't checked them to know how they were doing. We were using a worm and marshmellow on the bottom, about twenty feet from the bank. I wanted more for my smoker, but felt happy to bring home the few we caught. May make a trip after turkey day, to hopefully fill the smoker for some good smoked fish for the family x-mas party.

I was up there too, at the island facing the docks.I Caught a 15" and nice fat 17" Rainbow. Threw a little Dink back and that was it. Bye 10:30 the bite was off but Fishing is getting better up there. Ive been every week for a month and it's been tough to say the least. I didn't have any luck with a Worm and Mellow but maybe I should have stuck with it and, I could have casted in a little closer this time a year which I wasn't doing. I talked to a guy at Noon that fished all around the lake and he and his two sons didn't even get bites. I seen a Long Tail Weasel that has changed over to his Winter coat of White which was pretty cool, He came down to see what I had on the stringer then see me and he was off. Tried my best to just start snapping Pictures of him and this was the best one.
