Before the Ball at Los Vaqueros
31 Dec 2024
Happy New Year everybody! We saw that the local management had stocked trout on the 30th, so we decided to make the drive over to do a bit of exploring! We started our day at the South Cove, throwing micetails and Kastmasters. However, it was very crowded and the fishing was slow — over the 2 hrs we were there, we didn’t see anyone catch a single trout. As a result, we decided to head up into Cowboy Cove, and hopefully try to track down some holdover trout that might be a little less lockjawed. There was a bit more life here — we saw an eagle catch a trout, a couple bass surfacing, and a few fishermen catching stripers, but the fishing was similarly slow.
A skunk of a day, but Vaqueros is always pretty enough to make it worth it.
