Hit Folsom puddle around 10:30 today . Kicked my way over to the dam in time to see some BOILS :shock: 8)

Paul Egan joined me .... we made a few casts ....... ZAP !! Nice 18 inch Landlocked King Salmon !! As I land mine .... Paul gets bit - his is slightly larger . We landed 3 to 19 inches , and lost a few others . Gray/White and Chart/White #2 Clousers (slim profile) on I lines . Kings were feeding in the top 15 feet .

Not a bad way to ring in 2008 , with my first lake Kings on a fly !!!!

David :D :D :D

I can't BS you guys ..... last time I was out was mid-December (got blanked , on top of it) :( .

1 1/2 months without fishing might as well be 10 years . Nice to have things click out the gate !! BTW , the Kings fought very well ( no jumping , however ...) - I used my Smallmouth rod , a Fenwick WC 8 foot 6 wt. .

I'm hoping to fish out there again tomorrow , if the Bass at C.P. can wait :lol:

David :D

Nice David,

I've been scouting the puddle as well. So low..
Shame to what has happened to all the trees over on the South Side with the construction. I walked the dog for the first time this winter the other day over there and couldn't believe it.
I hit C.P. today for some nice sunnies!!

What flies and how deep ????

It'd be cool to get a few of us together out there Sunday afternoon - anyone keen ???

David,

@ size 6-8 heavily weighted damsels/green- somthing. I had on an old, knot-shortened leader, probably no longer than 5'. The retrieve was slow to painfully slow, sink.
I would love to meet up with some people out there!
My schedule is off right now due to the birth of my first daughter :D
I can probably sneak out once in a while, random times though.
Like to throw that rubber-bouncer out there.... :)

Congrats on the little Girl , Scott !!!

Thanks for the info , as well .

I went back to Folsom yesterday - fished w/ Robin and Paul and got BLANKED . Paul landed 1 Salmon and 1 Trout - Robin caught a fat Spottie . This was from 10:30 'till dusk !!! Too slow for my taste .....

Thanks guys,
David, sorry for the partial hijack here...didn't mean it.
We should look at getting a small group together out there. Only going to get better from here.
