thanks fellas!

Mike - I WANT A STEELHEAD before it slows down.....maybe next week????

Angel - never fished McSwain - looking forward to your report and pics!

Mooch,

I'm going to try and join you guys on Sunday.  Never been to Del Valle.  Where do you meet?  Any entrance fee?  Can you recommend tackles to use?  Thanks for the help.

Henry - 12 bucks to fish,park and launch. (Lake opens at 7AM) The lake is narrow and opens up into 2 large coves -Heron Bay and Swallow Bay. Depending on the bite, we could be anywhere - but no worries, you can easily find us.

Use light tackle 4 to 6 pound mono. I mostly troll rapalas or drift nighcralwers if it's really slow. So far, I've been doing good on trolling. But reports show that it's slowed down quite a bit.

see you then!

I am in!  Does that predicted "Nor-Eastern" wind for sunday get HEAVY in there? I'm sure there will be some shelter if so...
See yous there!  Gonna hit Chabot tommorow..then the Val on sunday....life is HARD!

Hey Adam - I MAY see you at Chabot tomorrow.....

Hope to see you guys out there on Sunday  .

Mike - I WANT A STEELHEAD before it slows down.....maybe next week????

OK I will set next weekend aside come on up Sat and Sunday MFF Tourney we will fish the river and if its dead we will hit Sonoma.
BBQ Sat. night.

Hey Mooch,

Let me know if you ever want to drive up to McSwain or any other out of the way lake, I'm always down for a drive.  I've got a Tundra (no racks yet, but I might pick one up tomorrow) that I can fit two yaks into so we can even roll up together.

Good luck Sunday.

Looking forward to fishing again, my first go out of 2007!
