LMB in Nor Cal now

[Ed Wahl]

Sorry Bill, just couldn't resist the title.
Hit Cameron Park Lake today for a couple hours.

No hits, runs, or errors.

Well, maybe a couple of errors, mainly involving goose crap, but who's counting.

The water by the docks was murky, like chocolate milk murky. Out on the point was better but no grabs.

Fished slow, fished fast. Fished bright, fished dark. Nada, Nada, Nada.

A lousy day to try but that's what I had time for.

Anyone been out to 'Seco?

Ed,

I hit Rancho Seco with about a dozen members of CFFU on Saturday. Weather wasn't bad but the smell of skunk sure was.

1 guy caught 1 fish (a trout). The rest of us got zip.

Not many other people. Someone saw a shore fisherman pick up a nice fish, but that was it for activity.

Water was 48 degrees = cold feet in the float tube.

Saw a couple of flocks of Tundra Swans, though.

It's finally getting up into the 70s now so we should have better luck in the canal here in Florida.

Joe caught 4 small LMB yesterday on Gummy Minnows.

How is the weed growth ?? See any Otters ?

Thanks Mike, that lake can be sketchy. Some days you catch 'em by the dozen and some days you don't even see any.

David, the weedbeds have died off for the most part, you can cast between them again. The water level is up where it should be.
No Otters this time but I know there's a whole family of them in there.

Maybe I should just do like Bill and Joe, go down to the store and buy a bag of Gummy Bears. Maybe some Gummy Worms too, they have them right there on the counter.:D

Yes, there are LOTS of otters, I counted 6 different ones when I was there on the 18th, each one was chomping on a good sized fish the whole time too. I got a report of 10 of them about a week later from a pretty reliable source, I've also heard that they've been seen in Mira Loma.
