I may be obligated to take my father-in-law :)yikes:) for a morning of fishing at CP on Monday.
Anyone know what the situation there is now that the water has warmed up?
Has fishing slowed?

I launched out of Quinn ramp weds & thurs. bait & fly trout guys were doing ok but I don't know what they were using. trout were surface feeding sun-up til 8AM. I was sight-fishing for bass with a plastic worm and did well.
water was 72 degrees

Went up yesterday with a couple of buddies.
Started at about 8AM and quit at around 3PM.
Hardly any wind at all...for once.

Still-fished the channels, using mostly worms (bobber & floated off the bottom).
All of us had action on almost every cast.
However, for every 10 bites, we brought one to the boat (using barbless may have played a part ;)).
Unfortunately, nothing was over 12 inches, and nearly all were closer to 8.
We managed to release those we did net to fight another day (and grow bigger).

This is the 2nd trip in a week where I have seen nothing big.
Earlier in the season, almost everything was at least 12"
I am not sure where the decent sized fish have gone....perhaps they are the forests of weeds trying to stay cool.

BTW, there are small fires just to the East of CP right now.
The smoke wasn't too bad, as the wind was blowing away from the reservoir.
We watched helicopters fill their buckets and carry it to the problem areas.
Stupidly, and perhaps illegally, these helos were getting WAY too close to the big Osprey nest on the point just West of the resort.
Maybe this is why I didn't see a bird all day...:sad:

At any rate, we did have a good time...telling lies and ridiculing each other's fishing skills.
