That sounds like a good trip and I might join you normally. However, I have obligations to do an early Christmas with grandkids before I fly out on Christmas vacation next week. Please ask again and I will try to make it. :D

Are they letting water out? I know nothing about this area, but looking a google maps seems like you would be pulling the yak a bunch. Send me some details on the trip, sounds fun.

They have been releasing daily but it is getting less and less. Not to much dragging. Infact the past several times I have been down there(every weekend trip for me) it seemed they were keeping the level a little higher. Always great fishing and the burn ban is now lifted!

Sounds like fun!! But, I don't have a tent, waders, cold weather gear for the water, or enough experience. I'm working on it. If I could wear shorts and fish with mullet or live shrimp I would be OK :mrgreen: Let me know when you go on a shorter (warmer) trip 8)

The fishing turned out ok. Ended up with 3 nice channels,2 blues,lots of bass, and a big longnose gar. The weather was really decent all day. Very little wind and warmer then I thought it would be. Did however manage to find a leak or two in my waders. Also so nice to finally be able to brew up a pot of coffee on a nice warm campfire again.
