Good day to be out on the water. A humid 69-86 air.
water 85-88 vis about a foot lightly stained
There are a lot of fish 2 ½ to 3+ pounds. I know there are larger.
That lake is like 2 bowls side by side with a breach in the middle. Now for the interesting part. There is a fence that runs the entire separation of said bowls. I only caught 3 on north side (dam and launch). All other in south side. The standing baby willows held a lot of fish and was good about reloading. I caught a lot of fish off the fence line middle section of said fence. Bad news a few used that fence to their advantage. I hung one post a couple times. Had fish head to post and wrap up. I did unwrap a couple. The last fish of day I wasn't so lucky. These fish are mean and do what they want to do. Great fighters.
When I got to the lake at sunrise I figured I would hand launch. Didn't want to chance trailer launch with the Sante Fe. 4WD truck no problem. Joe V pointed out another possible launch. He was correct. I took long limbs and laid them out for the next person. Will include pic in this report. Also beware of stickers, lots of stickers. They will be really bad through September
Had a lot of fun at Willow. Will do that one again. Thanks PWF and land owner!
Gate not a problem to find. After you relock it, not even a couple hundred yards if that look for a gate less trail on the right. Going down that trail of a road look for a large chunk of concrete. Follow the tire trail. Study you maps
