Well, Baum Lake is my favorite place to fish, and after a blistering summer the temps are coming down now. Mid 70 degree temps predicted for this weekend with overnight lows in the 40s. It's now after Labor Day weekend so there probably won't be that many people there. Sounds to me like I have waited long enough (last trip up there was in May), and it's time to go fishin'!
I'll be camping at the Hat Creek Hereford Ranch. Plan to drive up way early tomorrow (Friday) morning direct from SF to Baum, fish the morning, then go to HCHR and set up camp and eat lunch, maybe take a nap, then back to Baum for the evening bite.
It would be cool to see someone from the board there. I expect the weeds to be a major issue, (really bad in a float tube but manageable rowing a pram or 'toon), but the water temps stay good all year there because of the constant current flowing through. I also expect mid-day to be pretty slow fishing, but there be some nice fish near and under those weedbeds, and ima get me some!
