Soft-water fishing

Not too shabby for a day which was forecast to be cloudy and windy, at the end of October. Corrine, Sara, Nathan and I took our boats out fishing in Red-Rock's marina cove. Things are pretty quiet around here. One last sail-boat was being hauled out, a couple of runabouts still in their slips, getting lonely.

A fair amount of people were fishing from the floating docks and a few other boats were fishing in and around the area. Everyone seemed to be having at least minor success. I saw one person running double hooks who caught two fish at once. Everything I saw was really small. We ended up moving further into the cove near a creek which unloads into the lake. Presently, the creek appeared to be almost non-existent. Nonetheless, we all caught a few fish here - some white-bass and some large-mouths. The wind stayed calm and the temps stayed mild - it was a great day to be out.

Fishing the bar.

Corrine and I had a little free time this morning and decided to try some fishing. We went on a sand/gravel bar next to the defunct Ivan's Campground, referenced here. I saw pretty much no one else fishing except people heading down-river in boats, so that didn't bode well for our success in this area.

Fishing report - nada. It was still great to get out and wander around somewhere we hadn't been in a long time.




The river is so low right now that the little strip of water you see on the far left of this picture IS the river channel. It must be pretty deep right there as I saw some V-bottom boats cruising through it no problem.
