The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Thursday night - cove off campsite 101 at Rocky Point Campground Good hatch, few fish working it. I even found a live hex inside of the trailer the next morning. Hooked and lost one small mouth on a hex nymph, missed two on a dry. Hatch started right at dark, about 8:50 PM

Word from Camp Host was fish the Dam cove.

Friday was spenting sight seeing and napping.

Friday Night - tons of 8 to 10" fish working the surface on some midge. lots of folks. Bait fishermen (grandpa and two kids) were having a ball catching the little guys. A Osprey as well caught his dinner in front of us.

I finally casted my nymph over and at least got my hands smelly on a nice chunky rainbow.

The Dam cove was a bust,,very, very few nymphs poping, no fish working them.

Sat I fished around Rocky Point CG during th eday. My fishing buddy showed lots of fish (smallmouth bass, in generalt 15 ft to 20 foot depth and I then discovered I left my bait fish patterns at camp. .

Fished later that day and hardly any fish scoped, A result of all the Boat traffic?

Took my wife to dinner and passed on the evening hatch. I should have gone fishing. We ate at the restraunt in Prattville. Terrible food and it was over priced. The burger was thin and actually burnt on both sides. For 17 bucks I expected something better. Oh, and it took over 40 minutes from ordering to touchdown on the table, which was why I skipped on the evening hatch.

Rocky Point is a great campground if you have never stayed there and usually full, but lots of turnover in spaces.

that's my report

Good that there are still a few hex and fish feeding on them. Too bad about the dinner. Was that at Carols Camp Prattville or Lake Shore at Plumas Pines? Carols had been our favorite for years but it has definitely slipped recently, especially the service. Lakeshore is pretty good, especially when out on the deck. But it is over priced.

and I too normally go to Carol's, It was closed for a private party - 50th anniversay

Bummer. I think it is a bit pricey but we haven't had any bad meals there. Our cabin is within walking distance so we go there a lot. But then cocktails on the deck make one pretty forgiving.....

with the other placed closed, they got hit with a big crowd...Still, a free desert would have gone a long ways after the long wait and crummy food MY chicken primavera sauce was thin as milk, but the veggies were done to perfection and the salad dressing was "A" Grade

I didn't dare buy a whiskey at those "airport" prices.

and....The view is a killer, no ifs and (_!_)'s

Paul

Sounds about as good as it gets!

My first experience with the hex,,,was total ADD with so many 24" rainbows rising within casting distance 360 degrees around me on Butt Valley Res. Impossible to pick one crusingfish to cast to,,but when you did,,hold on.
