Lake Amador - Ione, Ca.

[L-D]

I headed down to Lake Amador, near Ione, Ca., today, I was only going to go for a couple of hours, but wound up staying longer.

The fishing was GOOD!

A white 2" grub with a orange power egg in front was good and the black grub with a white power egg was hot as well.

Procure Krill was the hot scent for the day.

I kept 4 bleeders, and released at least 12 more.

I wasn't counting.

The 1st couple of hours, I could not seem to keep 2 lines in the water all the time.

Definitely a good day to be sick...

I mean fishing...

The fish all went from about 2 1/2 to 5 lbs.

This lake is a concession that a family owns, and they raise their own trout, a strain of the Donaldson trout.

It is very common to catch 5 lb'ers, and I have caught one 8 lb'er a couple years ago. That is a blast on ultra lite gear with 6 lb. test for sure.

1st decent one of the day

We need water...

A nice football

I will!

But doesn't everybody out there ice fish?

I do need more work on the pictures, sometimes a little difficult when I am by myself.

A gentleman at the cleaning station helped with the one of the keepers. They had 2 limits that went a little over 35 lbs.

The limits here are 5 fish.
