Good looking out Ron..

Ron, does it generally effect the fish? I know dosage is a variable but whats your experience with the bite afterward. I was thinking about next Thursday?

I've seen it move the fish near the surface to the bottom and I've seen the deep bite dwindle for a while. I wouldn't want to make a prediction.

I'm planning to try it Saturday. I'll let you know what I find out.

Loweboat clued me in.

What are the chances the boils on the web cam post tipped the scales to treat?..


BTW, thanks Loweboat and why were you not at SF?

I did not want to go alone. I advise people not to go to Pyramid weekends in the summer, because of the crowds and possibility of not getting on Pyramid. I like peace and quiet. At Castaic, as you know they keep the jet ski's in a designated area.

Also I belong to the Friends of Castaic a volunteer group. If you attend 3 meetings within 5 months and volunteer at one event per quarter, admission is free to Castaic Lake. It does not matter what boat or vehicle you use. It is the members ID and signature that gets you free admission to the Lake. Check the Castaic Lake calendar for time and place of meetings. I totally enjoy the events and meetings!!! The other perk of the Friends of Castaic Lake is on the weekends in the summer on the lagoon, you are allowed free use of Castaic's kayaks. It's a real bargain!!! Their are no dues. The Friends of Castaic Lake also has a Fishing and Kayak committee. It's great to share common interest with folks. Any questions call Castaic Lake.

This is my first year fishing LMB and I'm trying to understand the cycles everyone seems to know about - pre/post spawn in spring, weeds in may/june, shad in summer? Now what is blue stoning? What happens in the fall/winter?

Weekday, weekend, spring, summer, fall, winter.

The lake is beautiful, and the staff is Top Notch.
Great people !!!

Just saying

I'm no LMB fisherman but I can answer the blue stoning question. Blue stoning is treating the water with copper sulphate to reduce algae and weeds. It's essentially a poison harmful to both plants and animal life but the idea is to dose the lake to kill the plants and leave the fish alive. We usually notice some die offs of the shad, possibly because they eat the poisoned algae and possibly because of depleted oxygen. The lakes tend to claim that the die offs are due to depleted oxygen but it's odd how the oxygen depletion seems to coincide with the blue stoning.

I have nothing against Pyramid Lake. I know it to be a beautiful place to fish and recreate. The canyons in Pyramid Lake are extremely beautiful and well worth the effort to see and enjoy.
I also know the fishing has been spectacular. I am sorry if I offended anyone.
I always recommend fishermen to Trout Only Guide service. Without you I doubt I would be as successful as I am.
BOB AND RON YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!
