    Default What lakes are on your list to fish this year?

    My list looks something like this;

    Klamath Lake - I've yet to fish it....
    Crane Prairie - a favorite but it's been a while since I've fished it.
    East Lake - so long as I'm up there
    Almanor - close by & love those Hex's
    Several small high sierra lakes - to remain nameless
    Crowley - haven't done it yet
    Tule Lake / Big lake - rumors of big fish & shallow water

    And of course Davis and Eagle which are almost in my backyard
    Sonny, the black lab, ran ahead to make sure there were no gophers or jackrabbits in the way. If you don't give a dog a specific job, he'll improvise one for himself and it will invariably be fun. There's a lesson there.

    My Sierra lakes shall remain nameless as well. If it weren't for the family and job I'd spend the entire summer in the Emigrant Wilderness! This weather is reminding me to start scheduling my backpacking trips for the year. :P

    Trout lakes cycle individually and there are weather cycles too.

    My list of lakes to fish when they are "on" would be:

    Many lakes out of Kamloops, BC.

    Crane Prairie, Davis and Hosmer back in the day.

    Klamath Lake

    Lake Almanor

    Davis Lake

    Eagle Lake

    McCumber Reservoir

    Manzanita Lake

    Hebgen Lake

    I guess there are tons of trout lakes to fish all over the world.

    Look at Denny Rickards's books.

    No plans for me, but if you get to Crane Prarie, UC told me that the wiggle damsels would be a good choice if the timing is right. I think he said just a bit longer than the typical Davis lake damsel.

    If any of you have yet to fish Crowley Lake, or if it's been a long time...please look me up.

    The planets are aligining in such a way that Crowley should have another epic season.

    Bill always talks about "prime time"...well McGee Bay sometime round July should blow your socks off.

    Stay tuned...
