Bob, KPN and I all set out to hit pyramid Wednesday morning (new years eve day), we got there nice and early….
We all sat there waiting for them to open the gates…..
It never happened, they obviously decided to close on new years eve day and didn’t put any sign up on the gate…WTF ???
Finally someone called the office and found out they were closed !
WTF ????
We wasted much valued fishing time so we decided to run back down the hill to Castaic.
It was pretty slow, we trolled for quite some time, all the way to the buoy line which was down again so we trolled in the back bay near the dam for 2 short strikes and 1 LMB which KPN landed…

The water started flowing in which was pretty interesting, our anxieties ran high as the bubble began to blast water about 5-6’ high out of the lake, we hoped this might stir the bite……BUT…..no more love….
About ½ ways into the day Bob gets the next hookup…..another LMB….
Hiro’s trout patterned bucktails strike their1st blood !

Another base hit for Hiro’s trout bucktails !

We trolled on for a while as we began to see an improvement in the bite…
Then Bob’s up….Zzzzzzzzz !......another nice fat schoolie..

We headed near the marina to throw some big trout baits but no love…
Then it was time to go…
Dayam, it was a rough day but at least we all got tied into a few fish each…
I think Bob thought he was trolly and began doing some weird things to the fish……as weird as I am, I had ta photograph it !

Wonderfull day out there guys and wonderfull company…
Good times regardless of the absence of a wide open bite!
We might have done better had we gone there right off, we wasted much of the morn at pyramid !
I spent the rest of my new years time off resting in bed with that damned flu that’s going around…
Cant wait ta get out on the water again and get into some 2009 action..
Till then…
Salute !
