I was back on Walker Lake
today searching for more big bluegills to add to my grand total so far
at ONE!! Two weeks ago was a slow day
because of the water temps, which was in the mid 50’s. I was hoping for a better trip today with the temps
in the high 50’s. So with my fishing ticket in hand I decided to work the back of the
lake in the main stream that feeds the lake. I fished this area last year early
and found some nice bluegills in the mouth of the creek; but today was a wash,
no hits at all in the creek.
I moved from the creek to the east side of the lake because I knew once the wind picked up I would have to fish the nooks. I was fishing the east deep cut banks with no action, so I moved into the first nook of the morning and made a long cast in the vicinity of a brush pile. As I moved the Leech slightly I saw the indicator move forward and I had my first hit of the morning.
