The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Was there this past Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was a bit windy and moved fish off into deep water- not much top water. Sunday had some fish in close to shore while the wind was calm. KD Rats worked well as did worm patterns and divers, just make sure that they are weedless. Bass were busting through the tops of the weeds chasing damsels laying eggs. Did get a chance to watch a fellow casting a variety of silicone worms in different set ups such as sinkos and drop shot rigs. They were deadly and almost took the fun out of fishing around the boat dock. One in our group removed a 7-8" long crawfish pattern out one of his bass that was just stuck in ts mouth.

A club member (possibly an annual member??) showed up with a ranger for a couple of hours on Sunday and he claimed the spawn was already over before he went out for his day on the water. I did mark a lot of fish deeper on my fish finder, like in the 6.5- 8' range hunkered right on the bottom on Saturday that would not come up.

It was great exercise.

Hope this helps.
