    The inlet to Bass Lake is featuring high water and fast current. I wasn’t up to the task to the two bass that struck my unweighted “Texas Rig”. My hook set was inadequate. But 3 aggressive rainbow trout 12-15” obliged nicely. I was surprised at how these fish attacked the long swim bait but I’ve said for years that fish in Bass Lake don’t follow the rules.

    Paddled to the mouth of Willow Creek and finally landed a spotted bass that follows the rules. (Bass Lake in California is a tough place to fish-infuriating at times.) I stuck to the Zoom fluke but changed colors and the payoff was near instant. I had to cut the outing short but plan to return at dusk this evening.

    I fished several spots along the shore of Bass Lake on foot and by kayak. Being a deep reservoir, it was tough to fish this way. I ended up getting a huge bass to commit to the glide, but it snapped me off. I then went up to an inflow waterfall at the top of the lake, where I saw many large bass in the current and managed to catch one.
