Time:
8:30 am - 5:00pm Narrative: I think this is the 3rd year in a row that my first fish has been caught at the Kistler Ranch Bass ponds. This year’s first fish was a smallish bass.
The fences on Kistler have always been good for a quick fish. I did catch a fish on the fence line but it wasn’t the first or second cast action that it usually is. The water was still a bit cold and the fish and damsel flies weren’t as active as I’d hoped. The fish came slowly at first but seemed to get better later in the day. I spent most of the day cruising around the 3rd lake. I dropped the boat about 4pm and fished the shoreline of lake 2. A lot of the guys were wearing waders and that seems to be a pretty good strategy for this lake. If you can wade out a few feet, you can get past the really shallow areas that don’t hold fish and do a better job hitting the weed beds in 3 to 6 feet of water. The fish seem to like these areas. The fish turned on in the evening and in the short time I fished from shore, I caught as many fish as I had all day- about a half dozen in total.

dropped me off in early morning and helped me carry my Ultimate 12 to the
water. I still don’t really have the canoe/kayak hybrid dialed in but I am
at a point now where I’m fairly comfortably standing up. I launched the boat
and made a bee line to the fence on lake 3.
