Reservation Number : 34044
Property Name : Sandy Creek Ranch
Reservation Date : 10/09/2022 AM -
Total Fish/Sizes : 50 small
Lures Used : worms & fly rod

Went to Sandy planning to fish the third pond with a fly rod. On the way in I stopped at the first pond an made some cast from the cart path/boat ramp and landed 5 nice bass on a fluke. Almost changed my plan and launched my kayak at the main pond , these fish seemed very active. 

Moved to the third pond that was down 3 to 4 ft. I found semi firm ground near the dock that is three feet out of the water. The visibility is 12” to 18” with vegetation not being an issue.Caught 45 bass mostly with flies both top water poppers and woolies.

This is a non harvest property however an exception needs to be made on this pond. A third of the fish are starving and look horrible

Joe, thank you for the feedback, we agree harvesting is needed on the Third Lake.  Steve talked to the owner and he has agreed to start harvesting bass 14” and under on the Third Lake.
