The Berryessa bass bite has been sporadic the last three weeks but may be getting good. The bite was getting going until we got a cold rain a couple of weeks ago that cooled and muddied the water and pushed the fish off the shoreline but it has slowly warmed and cleared. The fish now seem to be back on the shoreline and on the job which is where I need them.

I have a bunch of photos today. A fly which is working and a balsa wood bobber I made. Some nice spots and smallmouth and pretty good largemouth. Also a rock wren and a western grebe I got two weeks ago when the bite was not happening. I am starting to like taking bird pictures more than fish pictures. There is a lot more variety in birds and you can get them doing their normal thing rather than in the angler's hand looking very unhappy. That is what is happening here. Hopefully you are finding fish somewhere.
