Hello
I know its been a few weeks since I update things.
We made a trip to McClure today the 19Th of March with Tommy Farr, we trolled Shad on two Down riggers and a set of Vance Slim Willies on the surface along with a sling blade dodger with an Excel spoon on the other.
We started catching Kings on the down riggers that were rigger with shad and had a good bite going with lots of bites from the kings, most of the fish we caught were around one and half to two pounds.
We caught a few Rainbows and the Brook Trout seemed to out number the trout.
The Brooke Trout were very fat and healthy and put up a great fight.
The kings are just getting started and the kokanee bite at these Mother Lode Lakes is just around the corner.
The water level at McClure has really come up these few weeks and that is great to see,but becareful there is lots of debris's in the lake.

Took my oldest daughter Jordan out fishing Saturday the 28th of February, we went to Don Pedro.
The conditions were perfect the water is warming was 54 in the morning and 56 degrees when we left at 1:00 the lake has come up Ten feet in the month of February.
The catching was kinda slow with only six fish to the boat two kings and the rest Rainbows, but I was there just to see what was happening and to do a ittle scouting!
It will not be long now before the fishing really turns on.
