El Dorado News

[heydaad]

Spent today at my usual Thurs. spot ... got numerous planter trout to 1 + pounds, and bigger than palm size Blue Gill. Many shadows following, big shadows, and no luck with the swim baits and assorted lures. As we were leaving someone around the reeds from us, caught a very long and large bass. Saw the picture taking, hooh-yaws from the road. Looked about 4-5 pounds but thin, maybe a male?, or a spawned out female, at least 20-22 inches from my viewpoint. They were taking pics, so maybe someone will post later tonight. Good day overall, El Dorado is a good fishing place ... don't let anyone tell you different.

Nice report Ferg....Nice to hear the Trout are able to stay in the lake at least an extra week...Totally different from other lakes. I agree that El Dorado is a good fishing place. I've only been once and fished in one spot, but we caught some nice trout and my wife and little ones were able to enjoy themselves in the shade. Plus we were able to let the little ones run around on the grass area. We also drove around and checked out the back lake and it looks like El Dorado has lot of fishing spots.

Correct! Take Spring WEST off the 605 and the park will be on the right.

Edit: Screwed up location...

Fished el dorado today for a while in the morning. Saw quite a few trout being chased by big bass still, and some bass hanging tight to the reeds.. only caught one bass about 1 1/2 lbs on a spinnerbait.
