Pyramid Lake.....With a 10 mph wind i decided to fish Monument, its surprising how big the waves can get with only a 10 mph wind, after almost getting seasick from bobbing around in the float tube with no grabs it was time to call it a day.....water temp 60 degrees. It was nice to run into Doug O. at Monument and talk about the up coming fishing season.
Lake Davis.....Brrrrrr water temp 48 degrees, between the storm and the coots there was tons of grass and weeds floating around and it made trolling and casting difficult, you had to check your fly for weeds after each cast. I fished Freeman bay shallows for no grabs, came back into Mosquito bay hooked a couple......no toads on this trip. There were quite a few people fishing Mosquito and after talking to some of them a 3-5 fish day was the norm with a couple of toad stories. I found that a burnt orange streamer was more visible in the stain water.
Frenchman Lake......It was such a nice day with light winds and a water temp of 56 degrees, that my wife said that she wanted to fish also.... hmmmmm..... i decided to fished the South end of the lake by the boat ramp which is a nice easy place for her to troll.
The water was a little stained around the shallows, but I found some deep water weed beds that had clearer water around them. There are some big trout in Frenchman, not many but a few, so when i fish for them i like to used a big streamer (2-3 inches) long, and for the stained water i used a UV burnt orange streamer on a inter. line that i would cast into and around the deep water weed beds, after a couple of hours of fishing i caught 3 nice 18-20 inch rainbows.....and my wife even caught one.
Frenchman Lake
Always nice to see the fall colors
