Both the fishing and weather have had a huge turn around in the last 3 days at Virginia Lakes.

Big Virginia is still 80% iced over, but there are people fishing the inlet and outlets with worms, power bait and salmon eggs and they have had fairly good success.

Little Virginia had an epic day on the 31st with 35-50 fish for some anglers doing catch and release. Rod Lee of Fresno caught a 4lb 2oz on an OR (old reliable) fly, and his friend Gavin Hajikawa of San Gabriel (see photo), caught a 3lb 9oz rainbow and a beautiful Hoefer brown trout both on OR. The entire group from these areas did very well and spent most of the day on the water. The temperature of the water is more agreeable than last week, and it shows from the amount of tubes that launched today (17).

There is still quite a bit of snow on the ground in and around the trees, and on the south side of Little Virginia.

Blue Lake is ice free and producing some nice brook trout on a variety of lures and worms. The most consistent bait for the week has been Captain America extra scent power bait, and worms coming in second.
