Reservation Number : 21275
Property Name : Waterboo Lake: Bedrock Ranch
Reservation Date : 05/27/2019 All Day -
Total Fish/Sizes : 88 (not counting bluegill) / all but 5 harvested
Lures Used : deer hair popper (fly-rod), senko, soft plastic jerkbait, paddle tail swimbait

Took wife, daughter, and her hubby to stay in Bedrock Ranch Cabin on Sunday night and fish Waterboo on Monday.

Weather: warm (mid-80s), partly cloudy, windy (S 16-17)

Water: lake full, temps of 75 to 78, good viz up to about 5', surface veg ringing the shore and sub-surface most of lake where less than 10' deep

Fishing: caught a bunch of harvesters and several bluegill, only returned 5 bass that were 15'' and harvested and cleaned 83. Son-in-law used fly rod and deer hair topwater exclusively and did very well. Other baits were paddle tail swimbait, senko, and soft plastic jerkbait. But they'd also grab a squarebill, spinnerbait, and even a plastic frog. Locations were around most of the lake, but maybe a little more concentrated around the center of dam and towards the overflow out and around the east shore in about 8 FOW.

Cabin/Ranch: Very nice little cabin with all the necesseties. Warm shower, cold air, coffee pot, fridge, etc., etc. Also, comfortable mattress - YES. Of course drive down through the ranch is super cool.

Unfortunately, on Sunday night, broadsided a whitetail on Hwy 51 heading north out of Decatur at highway speed. Banged up the 4Runner pretty bad, but thankfully narrowly missed crunching the radiator and lines - so, duct-taped it up and did NOT interrupt fishing the next day!

Blessed day, thanks PWF and owners Karl and Charla.
