I am planning a BFT get together at Lake Elsinore on Saturday [#ff0000]August 25[/#ff0000]. Anyone in the area that would like to join us is welcome to come along.
We will be fishing for Bass, Wipers,Crappie and Blue Gills. You may fish for Cats too if you wish to do so.
Primary method of propulsion will be float tubes. The invitation is open to Spin anglers, Fly Anglers, Baitcast Anglers and any type of angling that tickles your fancy.
I am planning on being there close to Sunrise when the gates open and am available for most of the day.
Please feel free to come out and meet some of the BFT members that we talk to every day on the forums.
There will be some prizes for certain species of fish that are caught. I will finalize the prize details over the next week.
Please come on out and have a good time. There will be some free BFT stuff for those who attend.
Simply answer this post if you are interested in going.[cool]

At Castaic I use the #4 Clousers and Zonkers. Other times I use the 2/0 size. It all depends on the mood the fish are in.
Since they have crappie, you may want to try some of the latex fies. We used to use that in Utah and Idaho. Royal coachman #14 does well with them too. I bet you could hit them up with some of the Humpheys or Parachutes too.[cool]

One of these days Team Quill shall hook up with you all. Either there or here or somewhere in between, but it will happen. I already travel hundreds and hundreds of miles each year to hook up and fish with people I've met on other fishing forums, so I better add you to my list of people to meet and outfish.[shocked]

You may want to carpool with Pokymon when he comes out again this coming winter. Otherwise you are welcome to come out anytime. Just give us a heads up when you are headed this way.
We would like to meet you guys and fish with y'all.[cool]

They can hardly keep up on the water temp of the "Bigger" lakes let alone the smaller ones.
I could imagine that the water will be in low 70s and that the Bass bite will be explosive for a good couple of hours before we get heavy into the Panfish bite.
By 10 or 11 is should all shut down due to the heat. Then we could share in some could refreshments on the side of the lake and then share FF war stories and do a photo session.[cool]

Now that Scruffy fly wandered down your way, you may want to drag him in on the get together. That would be a good carpool for the 2 of you.[cool]

We should all meet at the Marina entrance. It is located at the South/East corner of the lake.
I plan on being there by sunrise or @6am. Getting gear ready and getting Macfly set up we should be launched by 6:30.[cool]

You are looking at 6 bucks or so to park and 8 to launch. Anyone that gets there early enough will have their parking and launch sponsored by me! So get there early.[cool]

] .... but will tell you that I am very much looking forward to this trip.. even the wife is not arguing monies with me... she was concerned at the cost of making the trip to the new bass pro so will check locally first.. then may make the trip anyway.... either way.. I am planning on being there early and with new waders and boots to tube for the first time... and ... of course to wear you out with questions on fishing... especially the power cast and spey casting......
