I would like to do a F&C at Lake Sonoma on Easter weekend and want to see what kind of interest there is out there.
If more than 8 people want to come I will reserve a Group Site (Broken Bridge) if less than reg campsite(Falcon's Nest).
It's about a 3 mile paddle in and the cost will be about $5 1 nite $10 2 nites, $3 launch fee if you use the ramp parking is free no inspection or Fishing fees. The bass should be in Pre spawn and Hopefully the Steelies will still be up top. Some will be paddling out early on Sunday to make Easter dinner. We can even do a Egg Hunt for the Mooch. If you are going for sure please commit and I will grab the Group Site as soon as I get enough people. The lake is almost full.
Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

I REALLY want to go, but I need to negotiate with "the boss." We will just be back from vacation and may not be up for another trip so soon. Hmmmm, maybe I can get a pass for just one night, or maybe I can get her to come along........

I may have some interest.  Ariel, relevant fish species are as follows:

Landlocked Steelhead (trout)
Smallmouth Bass
Largemouth Bass

that is all
although you are more likely to catch a big LM in the delta or clear lake than you are at lake sonoma if you ask me.

  Mainly a LMB Lake but it does have a good population of Smallies and LL Steelies plus Bluegill,Crappies and Sunfish and some big Cats
Since most of the timber was left in the lake it has a ton of structure

I'll probably show up Mike. That's near the end of pig season too.
If you don't know where you're headed, any road could get you there.

  Sticking a hog would be my goal too if I can make it.
