The fishouts at Greenstone Country this year are scheduled for Saturday, April 15th and Friday, April 21st 2006. A signup sheet will be available at the general membership meeting in April. This fish out will be limited to twenty members each day. If you cannot attend the general membership meeting in April, have someone else, sign you up. For those who do not know about Greenstone Country, it is a private, gated community nestled in the foothills of El Dorado Country. Opened in 1985, Greenstone has grown to about three hundred homes on parcels of three acres or more. Most of the residents do not fish even though there are three fishable lakes with the biggest being 12-acres, Indian Creek Reservoir. The lakes hold Largemouth Bass and Bluegills. Indian Creek is best fished from a float tube or any non-gas motorized watercraft measuring 14 feet or less. If the temperature has been around 70 degrees for three continuous days, then there will be lot of surface action. Otherwise, I recommend using an immediate sinking or a floating line with long leader. Rod weight depends on the fly you desire to use. Since the lake is not fished much, almost anything works, from big poppers to woolly buggers to damsel nymphs. If the weather is clear, I recommend using white poppers or chartreuse colored flies, however if it is overcast, then dark colored flies. Please provide your own lunch for the fish out on Saturday. Tony and others will provide free instructions on Stillwater fishing for Largemouth Bass for the beginners. Watch Tony try to teach his wife, Alison to Stillwater fish. At the Friday fishout, Tony will provide lunch for less than ten dollars. He plans to barbeque his famous Teriyaki Beef, almost as delicious as Kobe Beef, but not nearly the price. Tony has requested that we do not arrive before 8 am at Indian Creek Reservoir. To get there from Sacramento, go east of Hwy 50 towards Placerville and take the Greenstone Road exit, #41. Proceed north under the freeway and take a right, (eastbound), on Green Valley Road. Travel ¾ of a mile and make a left to the entrance gate. Tony will provide you with the access code. If you have any questions, please e-mail Tony at: hamamoto@cwnet.com. Also check the Granite Bay Flycasters Bulletin Board for updates.
