For
those of you who don’t know this, Lake Camanche has a
Trout Pond that is heavily stocked with trout from the
Amador Hatchery. I’ve seen them stock fish pushing 10
pounds. The Trout Pond is located next to the Monument
RV Park with full hook-ups in all 100 paved sites. This
Fishout will provide an excellent opportunity to spend
time with both your family and GBF members, and still
get in some quality fishing.
The
Trout Pond is a popular destination for many types of
fisherman. Bait and Lure anglers encircle the entire
pond. Wading is impossible. Float tubes or pontoon boats
are a must. The pond is large enough to handle a large
group of float-tubers without getting the feeling you’re
playing bumper boats. If you feel too crowded, you can
walk down to the main lake to try for some bass in the
cove below the RV Park. A 5 wt. rod with either floating
or intermediate line will work well for this pond.
Black, green, and rust colored woolly buggers usually
work well. Other lake patterns will also work.
If
you’d like to camp overnight in the Monument RV Park,
this is the information you need. Each site is paved and
has water, electricity, and sewer hook-ups. The RV must
be fully self-contained. The cost is $36.00 per night.
You can have one RV and one car per site with a maximum
of eight people and one tent per RV site. To make a
reservation, call Lake Camanche at (866) 763-5178. You
want to make a reservation at the Monument RV Park on
the South Shore. They will charge you $8.25 for a
registration fee. If you don’t want to camp in the RV
park, there are over a hundred more tent and trailer
spaces in other areas at the South Shore Recreation
Area. Most likely, this time of year there will be
plenty of sites available. However, if you want to be
sure, make a reservation.
If
you’re not camping overnight and want to come and fish
for a day only, you will have to pay $8.50 for a Day Use
Pass and $3.50 for a Day Fishing Pass. Everyone, even
the overnight campers, must purchase the fishing pass
for each day of fishing.
We
plan to have a Hot Dog/Hamburger Lunch for all
participants, on Saturday November 18.
There will be a sign-up sheet for this fishout at the
October Meeting. For more information and directions to
Lake Camanche, their web page is (www.camancherecreation.com).
If you have any other questions, call me at (916)
722-2992.
