Fish Report for 8-27-2012
South Lake fishing has been slow but a stocking by Alper's & a 5.07 lb trout may change things
8-27-2012
Parchers Resort Gang
Much more stable weather this week with mostly sunny conditions and light wind making for a lot of happy anglers....a big stocking from DFG and a dose of Alpers, see photos #1 & #2 courtesy of the Bishop Chamber of Commerce & Visitor's bureau didn't hurt either.
Fishing on the main lake is still a bit slow but folks are finding tons of fish and wide open action back by the island channel on the east side of the lake. Fish of the week was a solid 5.07 oz Rainbow caught by Natalie Malone, pictured above of Santa Clarita, CA on a grasshopper mini-jig with a baby-brookie Sierra Slammer trout worm trailer.
Aside from Natalie's big fish on the jig, the fish have really turned onto the plastic trout worms and seem to be preferring them over the jigs. Lip Ripperz, Berkley and Sierra Slammer trout worms in just about any color split-shotted with an 18" to 24" leader has been extremely productive.
The bait folks are hard pressed to find anything that is working better than half of a nightcrawler fished 5 to 7' below a bobber near the island.
Trolling needlefish at 5 colors produced double limits in 3 hours for some of our boaters this week and after productive hauls at that depth multiple times over the past few weeks using a variety of lures, that is obviously a solid pattern to go with right now.
The boat launch at South Lake is closed for the season - unless you can carry your boat from the end of the public launch down to the water, it is suggested that private boaters head over at Lake Sabrina.
