Property Name : Lago Escondido
Reservation Date : 05/20/2025 AM -
Total Fish/Sizes : 2 15 inchers
Lures Used : Flies only. Poppers and Wolly Buggers

Booked a half day trip for this morning becauset he wind forecast was zero to calm.  Actually got there still in the dark and rigged up fly rod and boat before the sun came up.  Conditions could not have been more perfect for topwater.  Started throwing big poppers and didn’t even get a bite for the first hour.  The places where I ususally sack up the bass produced NOTHING.  I ended up with only 4 bites all morning and landed only 2 which were 15 inchers (culled).  I can usually expect to catch 20 a morning at Lago so I’m not sure what was wrong other than the moon wasn’t right.
