Update: Cancelled due to weather and wind Fall is a special time to fish in the mountains. The summer crowds have significantly decreased, the leaves are changing colors, the weather has cooled and the fish are searching for food to withstand the coming winter. To many fly casters, fall is the best time of the year to fish for trout. On Saturday, October 4 I am going to lead a fishout to Fuller Lake. Most of the club has fished the lake in the past, so great detail is not needed. One of the goals of this fishout is to assist new members and new fly casters as they learn the wonderful world of lake fishing and float tubing. So, if you are new to lake fishing and float tubing this is your opportunity. Let’s meet at 8 AM sharp! Fishing Gear --- 4, 5 or 6 weight rod with an intermediate sinking line would be the best combination --- and you will need a float tube --- with fins. Fly casting from the bank is really not an option. Wooly Buggers and Sheep Creek are normally the most productive flies. Fuller Lake is regularly stocked with rainbows, but don’t be surprised to catch a few brown trout too. Hopefully, everybody will catch fish! If anyone has an extra float tube, please bring it to the fishout and/or email me at chuck95762@yahoo.com If you don’t have a float tube and would still like to go to the fishout, email me so I can see if I can get you one. Fuller Lake is approximately 1 hour from Roseville on I-80. Take the Nevada City – Highway 20 exit and proceed down the hill to Bowman Lakes Road and turn right. Note: The right hand turn is just before the bottom of the hill. Once on Bowman Lake Road (which is paved all the way to Fuller Lake) proceed 6 miles. You will see the Fuller Lake dam and parking area. Go to the NEXT right hand turn (on dirt) and proceed to the Fuller Lake boat ramp area. There is a paved parking lot, picnic tables and very clean rest rooms. The day use fee for this area is $5. For the new members or those new to lake fishing, I will be available for help or questions before the September General Meeting at 6:30 pm. Also, my e-mail is chuck95762@sbcglobal.net.
