Since I got talked out of heading farther up the hill, I went to Sly Park.
Too much fresh snow and ice on the road, and I was flying solo.
I really like that lake when it has water in it.
Very scenic, But I still don't do very good there.
There really isn't much to say about today, it was cold (for California), it was 35 at the house, probably around 30 at the lake, It was a slow day, and I could not catch a fish to save my life!
It was not for lack of effort.
I was working the area in front of the second dam, where I was marking a lot of fish.
I did get a hit or three, but that was it.
On the water at about 7:00, off at around 1:00. Surface temp was 47.
I was going to leave a bit earlier, and stopped to pull in my lines.
Right after I got them in, a fish surfaced about 10 ft. or so from the boat, and I swore he flipped me off.
Oh well, next time...
This is about the lowest I have seen this lake...
The water level is usually about where the second set of tracks goes off the ramp. The island you see out off to the left, blocks off the main part of the lake.
One of the reasons I still go here once in a while...
And about half way across the main part of the lake.
