Hit Folsom Lake on Monday after school with my friend Ethan. We launched at the Granite Bay ramp at about one. They have a paved 2 lane ramp with a single dock. You do have to drive on the dirt to get to the ramp and the lanes are pretty narrow but other than that it is good. I don’t believe the Browns ravine ramp is open yet. The lake has been rising fast making the fishing tough. We ran straight to the mouth of the south fork. Ethan caught one pretty quick with a drop shot rigged with a zoom tiny fluke, I started throwing a jig but couldn’t produce a bite. We kept working our way down the south fork hitting any steep point with rock on it. Ethan caught another one on the drop shot and I picked one up on a ¼ ounce shakey head. The fish were shallower than I thought they would be. Ethan hooked up on the drop shot again but lost the fish. Right at the end of the day I caught a decent largemouth on a 3.2 inch kietech rigged on a ¼ ounce jig head. All the bites we had came from 20-5 ft. The bite has been slow but if you hit enough points and keep your presentation small you are certain to catch a fish or two. Make sure you really watch where you are going because there is tons of floating debris that has been washed in and invisible island tops. Good luck and tight lines, Nick Lynch
