Caples Lake

[bolden]

My dad and i headed up earlier today hoping to find some cruisers, and we did. I only landed one, but he was very big, and my dad lost one of a similar size. We measured it against the rod and it came out to about 23-24 inches, and he was extremely wide.

If you go up, try to fish as early as possible until about 1 oclock, which is when they went deeper. A simple brown wooly booger was all that was needed.

Here is a picture of that fish and some others while i was bored. By the way, i did get rid of the line that was wrapped around the fished mouth.

Thanks Ben

I think we are missing out by not hitting many Nor Cal trout lakes late in the season.

Nice fish Ben.

WOW.....I love caples, and have never seen a hawg like that pulled from there. Nice fish.

I gotta get back up there....

Nice fish, bolden. I've seen some big cruisers up there but never hooked into one.

I never have very much luck at Caples, or the other lakes in that area either. I hear the lakes further north are fishing good right now.
