Blue Lakes - 8/30-9/2

Yo Yakhopper, think I coming down you way for Labor Day Weekend; what's the 411 on this lake?

Will be camping out at Blue Lakes Campground for the weekend with friends and family; so you inland  mountain boys, swing by if youre in the hood!!!!

Eric: How low is the water? can I launch for the campgrounds? or is it a long hike downhill? what's the goto lure? come'on man, give me the inside scoop!!!

Tote: How low is the water? can I launch for the campgrounds? or is it a long hike downhill? what's the goto lure? come'on man, give me the inside scoop!!! (yeah yeah yeah, I recycled it  )

Lake is at 9% and dropping ;0)
The ramp should be closed by labor day so you won't have to worry about lake lice.
Fishing will be good when the level settles ... Use jigs and creature baits ... Or if you don't know how to fish, you can resort to senko's .
Call me if you want to try some better water ;0)

See Ya Soon,
Eric / Yakhopper

dagnamit!!!! so the fishing sucks there??? my Bro-in-law is setting up a camping trip there becasue its the only place that has sites still available... now I know why.....

I went for an evening/night trip about a week and a half ago and it's super low. I used the third ramp which I've never even seen before. It was slow, but there was an evening bite. I got a couple small bass on the Rapala working the Madera side and another one flipping a mud bug. Once night came, a few of the bankies pulled in some decent cats. You should still be able to get some fish.

If you go out night fishing make sure you remember where the ramp is. With no lights on the ramp, not many bank anglers/boaters and no moon, it took me about 45 minutes of "hugging the bank"to find my truck. It was pretty funny asking folks, "do you know where the ramp is?"

just heard today that the ramp is closed now. Big bass are being caught as of last week. Im gonna try n go this weekend with the yak n see if its true. They have a two fish 15" or larger to keep bass. Try n get a couple for meat this trip. Eastman lake is a 20 min drive and is a trophy bass fishery. 22" to keep one bass. So, the fish are supposed to be bigger there, but I have caught my two PB at Hensley this last year, 6.2 and 7.0.

change of plans... they wanna dirt-biking and off-roading... so we are heading to the northern areas...
