Davis Lake

[rfish]

I fished Davis about 2 weeks ago and pumped a few stomachs to find them full of daphnia, the kiss of death. Does anyone have any personal info if the daphnia are still the main course?
thanks, Ron

I went up and visited Don over the long weekend - it started snowing an hour after I got there Sat morning and did not stop until Monday morning =- this was accompanied by wind. I will fish this weather for steelhead but not trout out of a boat!!!!

I fished today and did well midging.Very nice blood midge hatch with plenty of dry fly opportunities and also caught a few on Rickards stillwater nymph.Water temps in the low 50's with snow flurries and wind.

I know its going to rain and snow again this weekend at Davis Lake....but does anyone know what condition the access road into cow, and Jenkins are like....i have a 2 wheel drive astro van, and don't want to get stuck in the muck.

Gene-
Play it safe and park at Camp 5.A 2 wheel drive will only get you into trouble on the way into Cow( I heard a large engine revving up a lot yesterday coming from the Cow Creek access road.Sounded like they were stuck in the mud).Jenkins may be ok but you can access alot of the same water from Camp 5 without the hassle of getting stuck.There is still some snow on the ground on the west side of the lake.

Feel free to call me for more detailed access info.

A quick update Gene...there was a mini van parked at Jenkins today before the rain started.You may be able to drive there next week if things warm up and dry out a little.

I think we talked about this last year....but...the old brain can't remember if you need a floatation device for Davis Lake or Frenchman if your fishing from a float tube.

Gene,

If your in a personal watercraft you need a PFD at both lakes and any other lake in Plumas County if your 200 feet from shore or further. You can get a ticket if the boat cop thinks it's a safety issue.

Hope to see you Friday on the lake!

Jon.
