Comments: Light NN/easterly wind today made trolling fun. All fish
i caught today were keepers, incl.a 4 a 5 and a 6Lb.Where are these fish
during the fishing contest :-) The first time in years, i've noticed, huge
balls of bait fish like we used to see in the 80's & early 90's,definitely
a good sign, IMHO, i think the valley is making a comeback. See you on
the lake,Walt

Comments: Can someone please take a moment and provide me with information
on how to night fish for Lakers in the reservoir? I am a weathered LM and
SM Bass fisherman, but would like top try some night fishing for Lakers
at some point. I have a 17 foot Semi V with a 10HP, trolling Motor and
Fish finder. What other equipment would I need? Do I anchor? What part
of the lake do I fish? Any information would be helpful and I would be
happy to take someone along on my boat in return.

Comments: Anyone who can't catch a ton of bass in the valley is doing
something seriously wrong. This was too easy. Smallmouths outnumbered
Largemouths 8-1, but the 3 larges fish were 15-16" Largemouths. Also
bagged a few Rock bass. Nice evening. Saw a Huge Pickeral in
the weeds on the eastern shore. Probably around 30"+

Comments: First time this year we got out at night, and I hope NOT
the last. Anchored up on the North point, used a surface light and waited
for the bait to appear. There was plenty of bait and Rainbows. Two were
not tagged and the largest fish caught. One Kamloop was just under size.
The wind rocked the boat good, but it was manageable. Alot of Bats
on the north shore!!! We caught alot of large Blue Gills and Rock
Bass too!!
Good Luck out there at night!!!

large,but got away :-(Walt

another 22" off the N point. Only caught one fish on the downriggers,
a 16" brown just out of the ramp cove to the right. Fish hit a herring
behind a copper willow leaf Lake troll.

may concentrate on bows instead of the lakers.
