With no water and warm weather in the Sacramento area, the brothers decided to go to the mountain instead. Darn, I missed out...
Fish Whisperer fishing report:
We arrived there around 3pm on Friday & setup camp. To our
surprise the entire lake was iced over except by the dam. On my first cast I
caught a nice rainbow. The fish hit in less than a minute. Next
thing you know a few minutes later my buddy got a bite and from there we had 10
fish before the sun went down. These rainbows were beautiful & strong
fighters. As for the weather it was nice when the sun was out, but as
soon as it went down the chill was very strong. We had a nice camp fire
& started dinner: grilled carne asada, veggies, & tortillas. After
dinner my third friend showed up and we got his tent set up in the dark.
My buddy that arrived later was so excited to get on the fish he woke me up in
the morning on first light. Immediately we were on the fish as we had
triple hook ups. As the sun came out it melted some ice by the dam so we
went over there with lures. Brother this is when the trip became
special. We started hooking good sized cut throats on z-rays &
kastmasters! We had 30 fish in less than an hour on the dam. We had
so many fish that we started releasing anything that looked under 2lbs.
We quickly got the bbq grill going so we could eat some fresh fish & go
back to complete our limits before going home. I just couldn’t believe
how hot it was. Even got to watch them take my zray just feet from the
shore. I’ve never fished a trout hatchery before, but I imagine it must
be like that. All I can say is blessed is the man that fishes the lake as
soon as the ice thaws.
