“How to Maximize Your Lake Solano/ Putah Creek Fishing Experience”
August, 2016: Mammoth TripAll can say is; Mammoth has so much to offer that a long weekend is too short. The four of us arrived on Sunday 8/21. We tested water a couple times at our favorite spots for the girls to relax and the guys to fish a little. This became a run for the truck in early afternoon withdown pours. The T-Storms quit Wednesday, just in time for our relaxing day at Gull Lake and our Patio Boat Excursion. The fishing was hardly serious, although we managed a few. Thursday the group started rolling in and it was time to get serious about fishing. With the weather early in the week, it was tougher fishing than we would have liked and I missed my 2 grabs on Upper Twin Lake. Friday all members had about 10 options or ideas to fish with 3 spots to meet if they were not fishing the Crowley Guided Trip. The Crowley Trip was great for most of the boats. I counted grabs and my total was 13 and only landed 7. Sheila and Russ did well with 12 and 28, Meloney had a bent rod the whole time it seemed like ( while we were close ) I think Meloney and Laurie got 12-15 to the boat, each. Sam and Guy did really well, with 40 to the boat. Mike and Craig got 35 or so. Joe and Andy did not get a ton of fish, although I was told Joe got a #5 and #6.Betty and Keith hooked around 18 and unfortunately only 10 made to the net. Luckily the fishing had started to turn back on after the weather had shut it down for more than a few days. Most of the Fish caught were Rainbows, Browns and Cutthroats. After Fishing; a BIG Group of 14 Members and Spouse's met at the Mammoth Rocks, a Taste of the Sierra's Event. We had a Great time listening to a Johnny Cash cover Band. Enjoying great food and Drink. At 8pm; In The Led came out and the Volume Cranked. I missed a great shot of Meloney covering her ears.) Needless to say, it was too loud for Shadow and the rest of us. Saturday 9 of us fished Twin Lakes for the 2 Fly Event. The Fish had been planted on Friday afternoon Russ told us. Many convetional guys were doing well. These were super healthy fish and grabbed super hard. Russ Heckley took the Pot of Cash, landing 7of those feisty fish. Prior to the Potluck Saturday a bunch of Natural Tied Flies were created. The flies created were Awesome; with the 3 judges choosing the fly Tied by Keith And Betty Pfeifer as the Natural Tie Winner.Great Job you 2! Ernie Gulley blessed us with his presents and even offered to help numerous times. Ernie is the Guide I called to arrange the other 5 Guides needed. I had to apologize to him for being a little busy; although many of the group had lots of questions for him. Everyone brought a ton of Great Creations for Consumption and we all had a Ball. Saturday Am some members went to fish creeks. Betty and Keith went to Devils Post Pile and then fished the beautiful headwaters of the San Joaquin River with their 3 Wts. This is a Beautiful Stretch and if your ever there; you must see Rainbow Falls. Laurie and Ken went to the June Lake area to fish Rush Creek and explore. I believe they captured a few little ones on there hike. Craig and Brenda seen Hot Creek and also visited June Lake Brewery. I'm hoping I'm not forgetting anyone. I was waiting awhile for more reports; at leased I know some of the group got to see a small amount of the Reason's We Annually go to Mammoth. Thank You Everyone for the great food and your help. Thank You Mike Williams ( Asst. Fishmeister ) for organizing the Potluck
