    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: I ished Laayette Reservoir rom 6:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. I caught an undersized Largemouth Bass on a popper and a 13" 1lb 1oz Largemouth Bass on a plastic worm. I also caught two Rainbow Trout on the plastic worm (I thought that was kind o odd!?!) I caught a ew more undersize bass and a bluegill. For one reason or another, the small 6" bass seem to be very aggressive (all over the lake), much more than in years past. A good sign perhaps?

    Report: Bass ishing was slow, but got a good 4 pounder on the castaic bluegill in the east cove. Couldn't ind any nests, they are more than likely done spawning. The trout though was EXCELLENT. Caught three nice ones o the handicap dock with power bait. Other anglers also had great success around the Ranger station on powerbait. Keep you posted through out the week.

    Report: Not that well, but I do recommend sot plastic jerkbaits like lukes and slugos. The water is clear and the ish are in a rection bite. That is your best bet.

    Report: My son and I ished the east cove yesterday where I pulled out a 22 inch 5 pound channel carish plus a 14 inch rainbow trout. What's ironic is I caught the big' un on a 5' Zebco spinning rod that I got or less than $20 at a Kwik-E-Mart. Cause my good rod, my trusty Ted Williams reel model 475 and its matching 6' "Tournament model" iberglass rod was in the shop getting its much needed tune-up cuz' its been in constant use since 1969.
