Thanks for the leech pics; they will help me tie better proportions. Marabou tail, motion type fiber body and head. Look up leech dubbing and MS bugger dubbing from Fly Tiers Dungeon.

I went to Loreto in the 1990's. It was good, maybe as good as what Carl talks about now. except that there were no knowledgable rooster fishing around if dorado were slow. The price was comparable...

SATIRE!! Get a sense of humor.

Other nearby ponds with bass/BG: main park in Meadow Vista; Auburn Rec Park, and the pond at Dog park in Auburn; Ride to Walk in Lincoln; numerous ponds in city of Sacramento. And check this...

Lithium pricing is getting very competitive. Do your research. Ionic brand is $699 for the 100 amp hr battery; Chins is $509; Dakota is 899. 10 minutes of research will provide great...

Fish are away from shore now. Closer to shore (spin cast distance, or fly rod) by mid-March. IMO late March-April is best; my club uses pontoon boats then. USE A FLAG to warn bass boats who like...

To be more clear; I am looking for a fishing partner. I'm paying for the 14 day stay; we split hotel and gas costs on the trip to and from Tx. Please call Mike 408-807-4340

Spring time is fast approaching. As Bill has kindly pointed out, this is 14 days on the water fishing for less than 1 day's guide. These lakes have slot limits; you must release all fish 14-22...

Congrats, T. You the man to be chucking in the cold!

Thanks Mike, your input is appreciated.

I'm organizing our Texas bass trip 2022. 2 weeks fishing east Tx lakes, 3 day driving time either side. I have time shares for the 2 weeks to minimize housing costs. Lake Athens, Lake Fork, Lake...

I have watched this thread with some amusement. I debated whether to become involved. Finally I decided that if someone remains silent they have contributed to the wrong outcome. So while I...

Most of the lithium batteries I have looked at have a life of about 2,000 cycles or more. If you fish that often, I am very envious. Lithiums are a very new technology. I believe recycling will be...

I have read a very little bit about assembling lithium batteries yourself for a fraction of the cost. Does anyone have knowledge about this?>

Is a San Luis striper eligible? A brown from Lewiston lake? This is debated in many places already.

If you decide to look for a stand to support motor when it is off the boat; look into a 4 legged walker that disabled/older people use for support. Buy 2 U shaped brackets to bolt a suitably strong...

I'm gauging interest for a 2022 trip to Tx. We did this in 2021 and want to do it again. Expect 2 weeks of fishing in NE Texas; Lake Fork, Athens, Lake of the Pines, etc. 3 to 4 days of driving at...

My faith is restored. Many thanks for a great explanation. I had asked others if temps effected Hex hatch and did not give a definitive answer; I don't think they knew for sure. Your in-depth...

Let me try this one more time. I am not trying to be contentious. I'm fishing the Afterbay, not the river. I'm targeting bass. The water is not too warm, as I'm not at all concerned with salmon,...

Thanks, Brian. If I understand correctly, these are stream flow temps. I'm bass and left-over steelhead fishing in the Afterbay. We went the 24th hoping for a Hex hatch. It didn't quite come off,...

I can't locate a source for water temps at Thermalito Afterbay? Any help?

Crappie are great eating; unfortunately Clear Lake has a mercury warning in effect. Read about it and carefully consider your health before consuming them.

Like any long trip we had some weather issues. 4 warm days to start were very good; we had many bass over 3 or 4 lb blowing up on shad in the evening. Then we had a day on Palestine; we really...

The trip was fantastic. We are in tentative planning for 2022 trip. Respond if you are interested.
