Cameron Park Lake

Fished Cameron Park Lake with Randy, Bob and John

Water was 65 degrees and fish were starting to spawn. Weeds were starting to grow already and the lake was extremely crowded. I caught 3 small Largemouth and 1 bluegill about 8 inches long. All of my fish came shallow an my new Blaze Tail Bugger. Randy caught 4 fish up to 18" on his Hell Craw.John caught 3 LMB up to about 14" on the Canadian Brown Bugger (this fly is going to be hot), and Bob got a big goose egg along with a broken rod.(thank goodeness for TFOs warranty)    We all used Intermediate lines.      Because of the crowds and people pulling bass off of there beds and keeping them, I will probably not come back to this lake for awhile.

local pond

Yesturday we fished a local pond in Folsom California, and the largemouth were very active.

I caught 15 on my new fly the Brown Blazetail Bugger. Lew caught one and Greg caught 4.

I couldnt believe how hard the fish hit this bait. I knew this would be a great pattern, but I didnt expect to catch a fish on the first cast with it.

 

shingle springs private lake

Fished a private lake in shingle springs with Randy, Eilene and Christy.

Water was 60 degrees and fish were in prespawn. I caught  13 LMB up to 15" I caught all of my fish on a purple wiggle tail nymph. I used Jim Teenys BS 100 line.

Randy caught four LMB up to 18" on his Hell Craw

Christy and Eilene each caught four up to 13" on standard buggers. The fish were shallow and inches from the bank.
