As we continue to see all this drift smoke we have to feel so blessed that those amazing firefighters continue to keep us safe in our mountain paradise.
Hi, this is Cliff Fowler with Cantrell’s Fishing Guide Service at Pine Knot Landing with your most recent copy of Fowlers Fish Tales.
That blue jewel continues to warm and has finally for the first time hit its true summer condition. Current “limno” shows her to be 66 degrees on top and 60 degrees on the bottom at the Dam, 66 and 63 off Papoose Bay, 67 and 61 are read off the Boyer Public Ramp, it’s 69 and 67 off the Big White Dome and finally it’s 70 degrees surface and 69 on the floor up around Juniper Point. In true summer fashion… our thermocline IS our oxycline where the dissolved oxygen drops to poo-poo and that level is 33 feet down from the Boom Line to our Old Favorite Honey Hole and 20 feet down from the West Launch Ramp all the way up to the Observatory. Remember, these are levels NOT to penetrate as trout can’t live where they can’t breathe! Our clarity is still amazing with 9 ½ feet of light penetration.
Rainbows are still cooperating even tho the agua is warming and our numbers stay strong for this time of the year. If you’re burning octane, Trout Alley west to the Monitoring buoy outside Fisher Cove is the best trolling paths while Needlefish in Chicken Wing, Watermelon, Metallic Perch and Red Dot From remain strong. If you don’t have the metered stuff and are working monofil, a flasher/crawler set up or a CD Rapala are the best way to make a drag sing.
Bait boys continue to hang their offering deep from the top down via our infamous Stans Slip Bobbers. When our true oxycline forms like now this is the only way bait fisherman can get a bent stik as slip bobbin’ is a constitutional on BBL. Any quality tackly shop can show you how to rig a Stans.
Big Bear kitties have woke up big time with the warm water up in the East End. They’re having a ,ac attack and also inhaling anchovies, chicken liver, shrimp and a bag of stink. Juniper Point is great for you insomniac anglers.
We’re lovin’ life here a mile and a quarter closer to heaven so grab your rod, grab your sweetie, pull up a rock and go teach a worm how to swim!
