Current Report
The peacock bass are
starting to pair up and look
for spawning sights. There
has been lots of rain and
overcast skis have kept the
water temperature in the 71
to 74 degree range. Not warm
enough to get
these "tropical" Peacock
Bass active and moving
around much. Were seeing a
lot more fish along the
shore, but they dont seem
interested in any fly,
lure, or even live bait.
Last week Friday the water
temp hit 76 in the late
afternoon and the action
heated up. The largest that
day was a 4 1/2 pounder.
Most were in the 1 and 2
pound range. When they
turned on, any fly you put
near them drew a strike.
I've had good luck on any
streamer fly. Now days I
only tye flys on "keel
hooks" because they are so
weedless. When your fishing
right against the shore it's
easy to land that Clouser in
the grass or on a tree
root. Yes, I like
weedless.
The red devils also got
pretty aggressive. Good fun
on the light 4 weight fly
rods we were using. All and
all its been some tough
fishing, but next
week....................
Largemouth action has been
nice. Fish are averaging 2
to 3 pounds. Havent seen
any of those 5000 little 8
inch bass we stocked last
spring. They are up around
12 inches now and usually
all over the place and very
aggressive. You dont
suppose those big peacock
bass.......... naw!
Hope this finds all you and
yours healthy and happy. If
you have any questions or
anything, just ask.
Aloha,
Stan
