Water is getting close to the pine creek service road bridge. Water is still flowing good in horsethief canyon and all the springs up here are running good. Looking forward to Barrett this year.

Hit Murray with my kayak today as a cold front set in. The cool air blowing across the lake make me think like I was fishing on a cold February day...ha ha I did not have much success as I only caught a couple dinks on a small spoon and a small bass on an underspin and that was it. I had one other b...

I got to the lake at 6:15, under dark, cold, cloudy, drizzly skies..which pretty much remained that way for the next 6 hours!! The lake seems about a month behind with the unseasonably cold spring we're having! I ended the day with 14 fish, mostly small males which I hadn't planned on fishing for! N...

Hit Murray in my kayak yesterday morning(4/19) and then again this morning(4/20) only this time in my boat. There has to be some casting advantage especially in a boat being higher above the water(not related to 4/20 high..ha ha) but there really wasn't any. Anyway, basically the same results...some...

Anticipation is running high... Let's go!

Post is below

Don't know how this happened

But it must be a part of getting old.

Hey...speaking of old....Today is McFish's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY McFISH!

He is old, but a heck of a great guy and fisherman.

oh yeah...my post is below ...ha ha

When is parking not challenging?….about a month in

Thanks for the report!

Very nice! We shall see some topwater action hopefully by next week. Thanks for the report.

Thanks.... looks really full

“619bassin” seems generic. Bring back “ChuckLai”!!

Nice. see you this weekend Chuck!

If the water stays up, deep up in hauser canyon can get insane when it’s hot. You gotta push your boat over a sand bar usually then you get into the creek.

Hi all, Had a great day at Barrett. Water is only 65, I don't know why it expected it to be warmer. Speaking of temperature, at 0430 it was 36 degrees F in the air. That makes you wide awake even if you weren't while in your warm vehicle. Almost 30 total fish today. Mostly on an underspin jig with d...

Shut out for opener on Wed but got a tube spot Sat Lake 90% full almost to the top of the spillway. Parking at pigs limited to porta potty and back. Lost of new shoreline to explore. Lots of kayakers and tubers, Nascar launch at pigs point in the dark, running wide open in the moonlight. Got a handf...

nice rig. Jules said most guys reported 5 or less opening day, that or more than 30. Hardly anyone in between (which I fell into, only going top and getting 16 landed -From 20 or so fought- from late morning to sunset). Looks as nice as it's ever been, can't wait to see the end of pine, the frog bit...

First time here since last year. Water level was stupid high! Been fishing Barrett for 12 years, and never has it been so high! Also, 36 degrees at 4:45AM! Had 8 or 10 fish before 6:00 a.m. on senkos. Hauser, then moved slowly toward the back picking here and there. Hadn't used a drop shot in about ...

I promised I'd post more on here when it got brought back so here's the scoop from Sunday! Got a late start on the water around 2. Started out trying some new tactics with squarebills around pigs for no love. Tried the ned for a bit with a few short bites. Switched to the fly rod and headed up the r...

Great to be back at the Big B in 2023. Good thing we had our rain gear on as it came down loading the boat and the ride down Hauser. Between it being dark, raining and the super full lake we couldn’t find our old spots. When it got light I started with the spinner bait for nada. Switched to the whop...

Well, not Paris, but Perris! Backseated Perris Lake 1/2 last Fri, just north of Skinner, cold and calm, then cold and windy. First time in over a decade. Prayed we'd pass inspection, figured it'd be a miracle, as we drove out of SD in the rain!!!! Answered prayer, the new lady never felt into the bo...
