Thought I would share a fishing trip my son Jason made a couple of days ago fishing
The Game and Fish Division
stocks the lake with rainbow, browns and it also has a population of wild
trout. Water flows into the lake on the north end through underground pipes
from Bowman Lake
Numerous rainbows landed
during the 4-hour trip fishing 6 to 7 feet deep in the super clear 54 degree
water.
A beautiful rainbow took within
5 feet from the Kayak; it was assumed the trout was thinking the kayak was a
large floating log.
The Wiggle Tail Tungsten bead
head was the fly pattern that got all the attention for the afternoon. Jason retrieving
the Wiggle Tail slowly with short jerks was the action the trout wanted. A lot of fun using his 5 weight spooled with a sink-tip line.
I love the Tahoe area! It is soooo beautiful. You must have had a great time! Nice looking trout too. =)
ReplyDeleteBill what a beautiful lake.
ReplyDeleteJason had the right fly selection and presented just the way the 'bows liked it.
Well done Jason.
First, a Hello to Jason. I've not fished Fuller, but another great Sierra Lake by the looks of it. Jay Fair's Wiggle Tail has always been awesome for trout. Don't know why I don't use it more except mine aren't bead head. Probably the reason.

ReplyDeleteI wish I had been there, hopefully I will get to make it out there next year. Thanks for the comment

ReplyDeleteJason said he could see trout at least 16 to 18" near his kayak in the super clear water. He said he and his friend will be back in a couple of weeks and hopefully will be able to land the bigger bows. He said the Wiggle tail was recommended to him by a guy at the Orvis Fly Shop. I will tell him you said hello--thanks for the comment

ReplyDeleteThe sink tip was the perfect line selection to fish this lake. The trout there are deep according to Jason. Thanks for the comment
Great area. Looks like more than just fish got caught. :)

ReplyDeleteMust be wonderful to have so much water so freely accessible . Over here access to lakes and especially trout streams is mostly strictly controlled . I have just gained access to a club controlling a local trout stream after been on the waiting list for 8 years . The fishing and surroundings so good and the costs so small that no leaves unless its dead mans shoes....
Tight lines
