On Saturday, August 22 I will be leading 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. I will be more than willing to assist anyone with either their casting or fish techniques. Let’s meet at 8 AM sharp! Fishing Gear --- 3, 4, or 5 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 due to the lake being surrounded by trees. Wiggle tails, Wooly Buggers and leeches in olive are normally the most productive flies for me. Fuller Lake is regularly stocked with browns, but don’t be surprised to catch a rainbow trout, too. Hopefully, everybody will catch fish! From my past experience at Fuller the best technique to catch trout is a very quick retrieval; browns are an aggressive fish and prefer to attack a quick moving fly. On a good day you can catch fish anywhere on the lake, the middle of the lake is a good area to fish as well. At the August meeting there will be a signup sheet. You can also email me prior to the meeting if you plan on signing up. On August 18th I will be at the monthly fly tying jam and can show anyone the pattern that I use at Fuller. If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me directly at 916-813-1308 or via email at scott.vaughn68@gmail.com. Scott Vaughn Fuller Lake is approximately 1 hour from Roseville via 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.
