Walked the shore yesterday, tossing a spinner bait and a jerkbait. No hits. Did see one carp, one rainbow, and one small largemouth landed by other anglers. They hadn't stocked it yet, as of yesterday. Still super muddy.
Thanks for the scouting report. Those anglers were keeping the fish, or they just told you their catch? I still believe the PH levels will not clear up until March at least.
The DFG website says theyre stocking this week. I wonder if the trout will bite even in murky water.
Carp was laying on the sidewalk when I went by, dude was putting it on a stringer.
The little bass was released, and the trout was kept.
Funny thing was, both the trout guy and the bass guy were apologetic about keeping the fish (the bass guy said he kept an 18'' largemouth earlier, but would let this one go) with me even asking them about c&r.
I was there this morning from 9 to 1030 and managed to hook up on two dfg stockers. Don't know how to post pics,they were small anyway. One was half a pound the other was a pound.
i was there this morning for a quick sesion but didnt even get a bite o well next time
New to the location. What bait have you guys been using? I tried garlic loaded anchovies and shrimp mixed with cheese, and got ferocious feeding action but no solid hook (not using treble for clean catch & release). Can't get the cats to take on the stinkiest chicken liver in the larger lake. Might have to try the smaller lake, or the smallest lake.
Oh, anyone know the depths for all the Lake Evans' (from the biggest to the smallest)? I read the article about the 2008 dredging, which increased the depth to an addition 7 feet. So..what's the total depth in the middle and along the banks?
