Last Saturday, local anglers Bob Killgore, of Peaceful Pines, and Tim Smith, of Sonora, got into a somewhat remote lake in the Coffin Hollow area of Tuolumne County. The lake, named Clear Lake, was reached partly by ATV and partly on foot. They found the rainbows, up to 14-inches willing to bite on Power Eggs and they came out with one short of two limits. A good day of fishing and some great trout dinners coming up.
At New Melones, as the water level continues to drop, more anglers are trying bank fishing, especially for catfish which usually are close to shore this time of year. Boaters are still getting out off Glory Hole Point with 4-wheel drive. The trout and kokanee bite has really slowed as they have gone deep to cooler water. Trollers

Locating bass can sometimes prove to be a futile attempt leaving one to wonder, where did they all go? During one such outing at Shakamak State Park located in Jasonville Indiana. I found myself searching shallow and deep, shade and sun, grass and rock, dead-falls and standing timber for any bass willing to take the bait. I had decided that the bass just were not in a feeding mood but I was. I eased into a cove and pondered my predicament over a cold drink and turkey sandwich. I had searched every possible hiding spots in that lake and wondered what it would take to salvage the day after such a long trip to enjoy some of the great bass fishing Shakamak State Park has to offer.
The wild life of Lake Argyle is very inhabitant, as there were many beautiful and majestic creatures that weren’t so shy to expose themselves to our presents. The wild life plays a huge part in this man-made lake, because not
On the far Northern border of Dundee Wisconsin, a small Scout Camp was founded in 1946 and a legend was born. This camp was named Long Lake, after the lake upon which it resides, and it would experience its fair share of storms and turmoil over the ensuing years. Some of its visitors only ever viewed it as a mosquito infested swamp while others would go on to call it their second home. To me however, I have always had a love hate relationship with its wooded trails and murky waters, yet I shall always cherish my memories of it in my heart. Regardless, Camp Long Lake is still one of my favorite places to visit with its quaint ecology conservation lodge, the various activities its main waterfront has to offer, and the thrills of sleeping

Fly fishing is not a mere sport or hobby, but it has become a passion that it rooted so deep in West Virginia culture that it has become a way of life (Bailey). When I first heard of fly fishing, I disregarded the subject as an old-fashioned type of fishing that has been outdated by modern technological equipment that allow you to reach every corner of the stream. Little did I know, this is not the case. JD Bailey is a local fisherman in Bridgeport, West Virginia that spent years mastering the art of fly fishing and I was lucky enough to get insight information from this valuable asset to keep the tradition of fly fishing in West Virginia alive.

With the water level up to the launch ramp at Beardsley Lake, Dick Anderson, of Twain Harte, got in last Friday and got 10 fish to the boat, releasing four. Flasher/worm combos was the key.

For most of the 23 years I have spent carp angling, with the exception of a couple of years on Horton, a season on the North Lagoon in Broxbourne and a bit of time at Horseshoe, I have concentrated my fishing on small pits and estate lakes between 1½ and 7 acres in size. This has generally been because I fish purely for my own pleasure and have always been drawn to the peace and tranquillity offered by most of these type of waters. Because of their size, memberships tend to be low with fees relatively high and are often run on a syndicate basis. As a result of this combination, these type of waters tend to attract friendly, capable anglers that fish hard but also have that close-nit community spirit about them that often leads to unplanned but extremely enjoyable social evenings, and surprisingly enough some of my most memorable captures have often followed
Digging 5 by 5 foot diameter holes in the hot blazing sun, where the temperature is around 95 degrees. There is no shade around, nowhere to go cool off. Always on the lookout for animals that could kill you with one single bite. The overall nature of this place is horrible.
