shadow cliff 1/1/11

great new year fishes for us at shadow cliff. on the water by 12.00 and off by 3.00.
all good fighters and beautiful fishes. they all had their fins and tail all in tack. got 7 in all for the three of us. must have been at least 20 to 25 lbs worth of fish. got them them bait fishing with inflated worm and power eggs, but most were on the crawlers. sorry no pics. but these are the best looking trouts ive ever seen.

Thanks for the report crash and welcome aboard. Looking forward to many more
fishing report from. See you on the water soon.

Welcome aboard Crashtst    Thanks for the fishing report.

Welcome to the Madness, and thx for the report.  I'm 15 minutes from Shadowcliff, and there are other NCKAers nearby, so post a hookup next time you go if you want company. btw, Did you buy the worms at the nearby Walmart?  If not, where?

Nice job on the fine catch!  It was nice meeting you a few weeks ago when you picked up my Hobie paddle.

cool man. i had a similar experience yesterday at del valle. i caught 6 trolling in about 2.5 hrs. haven't  been to shadow cliffs but wanna it on my list for sure. maybe we can hook up next time you go and weather is good. i live in sf.. have you tried contra loma? - mike..

WTG! glad you got in the fish, sounds like some dandys

Yes they are nice fish.  Shadow is getting fish from Oregon this year.  Probably, Del Valle and Quarry Lakes and Chabot are getting the same fish.  The trout are raised in a running creek (fence off) and not in cement ponds.  Great fighters and real great colors.  The meat is red.  As soon as Duck and Goose season is done.  I will be out there.
