El Cap (2/22)

[bfullerton17]

It was a beautiful day on the water at Cap this past Sunday. Sunny, about 74 degrees, and just a light to moderate breeze coming from the west in the afternoon. The bite seems to have slowed down a tick since last weekend, but I was still able to manage quite a few bites and 10 fish in the net. The fish have pushed shallow and are willing to take a well-placed neko or ned-rigged worm, but the neko got more looks. No dice on reaction, but didn’t fish it all that hard.

Comically fat and football shaped 3 pounder

Saved this 4 pounder I found floating belly up. First time seeing this in person!

Match the hatch swimbait guys!

Reading these reports and being a boater is sheer torture. And its my favorite lake after Barrett. Damn the city (pun intended) for not managing our water resources and dam maintenance/replacement funds better. And you can throw the Hodges story into this too. Sorry bfullerton17 for going sideways on your post. Good job

Thanks for the report. There is bait all over in 30 to 40 feet and a lot bass in them. They should move up soon, nights are staying a little warmer.

Love the panfish fly.
