Thanks
Troy

Good luck Kevin.  I am planning to hang out this weekend with the screw at San Luis Reservoir.

I went last Saturday and got 9 of them and lost about 9 too. It was my first time and had a blast the bite is good.

Not sure Troy. With the recent storms, I haven't been to Bullards or Sly in two months. Hearing that Bullards is putting out nice sized fish so I'd bet money that Sly Creek is even better.

NOTE: CHANGE OF LAKE. WE'RE HEADED TO SLY CREEK INSTEAD.

Good luck ,,,,,I am heading up Monday thru Wed.....save a few for me.  I will check your report.

Wow what a blast today at Sly Creek. I was ready to head out when Kevin showed up so he pointed out the way to go. Right off the bat I landed a nice brown, and then for awhile I only had a few bites. Eventually Kevin caught up, and I followed him, as he explained that we just needed to keep going until found the Kokanee schools.

Eventually we did, and it was nonstop bites, and lost fish. I ended up with my limit of 5 10-11” and a rainbow by the time headed in.

A big thank you to Kevin for showing me the way to my first Kokanee.

Had a great day! Met Mark at the ramp and got on the water about 9:00. Trolled towards the dam and picked up a 11” Kokanee. Marked a few fish here and there but no schools in front of the dam. Thinking, uh oh, this is not looking too good. On a usual day we get our 5 fish limit by the time we get to the end of the dam. Caught up with Mark there. We continued to go up the South East arm. Nothing. Only a mark every once in a while. Stuck it out and kept going all the way to the back of the arm. Bingo, started marking fish everywhere from 15-40’. For the next 4 hours it was hit after hit. Ended up the day landing 17 Kokes and 2 Rainbows. Had tons of short strikes and lost 6 at the net. Not exactly on fire fishing. Usually we land 30 or so each. Still, there was plenty of action to keep it interesting. Brought home 5 Kokes and the two Rainbows. The rest and many more are still there waiting for you. Mark, it was a pleasure meeting and fishing with you. Congratulations on breaking your Kokanee cherry!                Kevin

Cool. Glad to hear you got action.....hopefully Monday

Thanks for the report
Troy

Right on, nice work!  My in-laws live in Grass Valley - I've been meaning to bring the kayak and head out there for along time now.  Next time for sure. 

Congrats Mark. Once you taste them, you’ll be even a bigger fan.

Plug'n'jug, your definition of a slow day cracks me up...your slow days are my PBs!

glad you guys had fun out there!

Thanks for the report Kevin

IF ya head up there be sure to secure your cell phones. We had a rash of folks losing them up there that weekend
