Flyfishing at Del Valle 3/29

My son needed to get out and do a little fishing so we thought we would give Del Valle one more shoot before focusing on halibut. It was the first time for my son at Del Valle so thought I would give him the total lake tour, It was windy most of the day but sunny. We fished with mostly flies (wooly-buggers brown) we got several hits but only landed two fish, fun times.

Pics #1  my trout 4lb 21.25”

Pat, did you mention to your son that you are now part of an elite kayak fishing squad called "Storm Trooper" 

Nice going', Pat. Were you working the surface or using sinking line?

Joel I forgot to metion that to my son but I did show him where it all happened .

pisciform we where useing sinking line and the wooly-buger had a bead head.

It's a wonder those fat buggers can chase down their target!  Nice report.   

a mighty fine Mt.LassenLassey you got there Pat!!   Thanks for the port&pics!

NICE report Pat!  Love that you were able to catch the fish that are not in that lake with flies!     Just AWESOME!

Sweeet!!! I will have to bring my fly rod next time. PErsonally, I hate those sink lines. One last trip to DV in 2  weeks before rockfish mania. BTW, are you going to join us on big blue this year?
