Del Valle Trout

Trolled for trout today at Del Valle with my friend Chris in his little boat.  We caught 8, all over 12".  largest went a bit over 18".  Very nice fish.  Trolled flashers with nightcrawlers.  All action was to the right of the dam.  Got a couple of bites on Kastmasters, but zilch on the various Rampalas recommended.  Fished out 30 - 50 ft back at around 10 ft deep. 

Last time people asked for pix, see attached (note the ruler on the right).  Chris took some better pictures on his camera and I can post them when I get them.

Solid day DanMan.  I love trolling flashers but have never had luck with them at DV.  Nice to know that they will produce there.  What kind of blades were you pullling?

Sounds like a great day at DV. Thanks for the report.

How was the water clarity?

Can't wait to do some more fishing at DV. I love this lake.

Thats what im talking about!!!! WTG...Andy

nice little piggies!

NICE! I need to get some trout soon for the smoker!

The water clarity sucked at the launch, as you move toward the dam it gets better.  Around the dam you could see down to about 3 - 6 ft deep in the shallows.

We were pulling Seps dodgers.

Most the fish were in near the shore.
