[cool]Used to be some good smallies in Cachuma, but it definitely takes a boat to fish that lake for anything other than trout. I used to do well on the largies in there with plastic worms along the shoreline, and smallies on some of the same worms...or spinners cast for trout during the cooler months. Don't know what the current biomass of Cachuma is. I know is has suffered some ups and downs with the drought. I have heard there is still some decent action on big trout.
I seem to recall that Cachuma is one of those "no body contact" lakes that does not allow float tubing. But, they do have rental boats. I'd like to get up there myself, for old times sake. Maybe see if they still have all those goldfish in the lake. Those things used to surprise a few folks when they took baits meant for troutskis.
Are you scheduled to go north any more before the end of the year? Let me know and I will get a "Care Package" together. Otherwise, we can put something together during the "Family Flotilla" gathering.
