There will be 2 fishouts at Greenstone Country this year: Wednesday April 9th and Saturday April 19th, 2008. Since these fishouts will be limited to twenty members each day, a signup sheet will be available at the general membership meetings in March and April. If you cannot attend the general meeting, have someone else sign you up at the meeting.
For those who don't know about Greenstone Country, it's 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 a 12-acre lake, 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 intermediate 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 use dark colored flies.
Please provide your own lunch for this fishout. Tony and others will provide free instructions on stillwater fishing for Largemouth Bass for the beginners.
Tony has requested that we do not arrive before 8 am at Indian Creek Reservoir. To get there from Sacramento, go east on 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.
