Virginia Lakes Fish Report 08-30-07

Virginia Lakes - Bridgeport, CA (Mono County)

Fish are hanging in about 5 to 10 feet of water so try an intermediate sink with either brown or olive Woolly Bugger, Adams dry, or a Partridge soft hackle in peacock with a tinge of yellow. Fishing in the Canyon has been slow, and this is due to the excessive warm daytime temperatures. Fish are deeper than normal and you really have to work for them. Salmon eggs, worms, and a handful of lures have done fairly well, a lot of artificial "stuff" has not been doing the job, these fish are hungry for the real McCoy and won't settle for anything less. Trumbull has been slow with only a few anglers having success on a variety of things including marshmallows with salmon eggs, and a few lures. Rainbow Power Bait and rainbow glitter to salmon peach have taken a few, but nothing significant or of any size. Big Virginia has done fair to good with tubers doing the best on the southeast corner as always with small Midges, and some dragonfly imitations. Worms and Salmon eggs on the east shore early morning, and starting again around 4 p.m. Backcountry lakes are doing well, and the streams are full of little brook trout, no size, but a heck of a lot of fun on a fly rod or salmon egg. ?Į
