Fish Report for 10-23-2012

As the water cools look for Bridgeport Reservoir fishing to heat up

Put your tube in at the Bridgeport Marina (RV Park & store open) shoreline and work north, or west out towards Rainbow Pt. in 4-6 feet pulling perch imitations with light sinking tip lines. The water is off color but some really nice fish are showing up on a regular basis for conventional anglers. The Bridge is a sleeper with locals doing very well along the old East Walker River channel. The water is gonna cool off after this storm and you will see the Bridge go off before the season ends.
