Lake Amador usually fishes well this time of year as those of you who have been there in the past can verify. Trout weighing 5 pounds are not unusual. A 5-weight rod with a floating line and a 10 -12-foot leader should do the trick. In the past, the most popular flies have been a black leach or a black or olive wooly bugger.  Sign-up will be at the November meeting. 

 

I will check with the lake when the time is near to get a report on fishing and weather conditions, and then notify those who have signed up by e-mail or phone. 

 

Try to join us for this fishout.  The fishing is always lots of fun.
