http://www.virginialakesresort.comWhat will Mother Nature send out way in the next few days? Whatever
it is hopefully it will include more of the same without the smoke
from the fires over the mountain. Visibility has decreased in the
last 24 hours, but it clears up at this elevation overnight into the
early morning. Hopefully these fires will be under control in the near future.
Biggies for the week were caught by Matt Ross of Orange with a 3lb
2oz Alpers on a fly, Todd Roberts Jr., age 11 with his 3lb 2oz Alpers
out of Little V on 8.22.9 on a nightcrawler, and 2 more fatties came
out of Big V, but no report on who caught them. We did catch some
people fishing at 10pm last night and ran them off the water.
Fishing has been great, and as I always say \"catching has been even
better\". Many anglers are having some 30 to 40 fish days without a
breeze and clear warm days, which is surprising as it\'s always easier
to catch when there is a chop on the water\'s surface.
Top bait for the week was garlic power bait followed by salmon peach,
night crawlers, baby crawlers, and salmon eggs.
The hot lures were red/gold Buoyant (red hook), gold fire stripe Hot
Shot, Lip ripperz and Kastmasters (gold prism).
Flies were a mix of standard dries, Virginia Lakes special, Rickard\'s
AP olive, sow bugs, foam-back halo midge, naked olive elk hair
caddis, small PMD\'s, black/olive Matuka, flash-body olive bugger,
Carey special (old version, not mine), Hornbergs, and hair ants to
name just a few (ha-ha).

The week started out slow but changed when DFG arrived and things heated up to a frenzy. Fishing got hot and catching sizzled and a few larger fish started to hit my board. Daryl Simons of Mission Viejo caught a 5lb 8oz. on power bait out of Big Virginia with Mateo Venegas age 3 caught a 4lb 2oz with his Dad's help, and Todd Roberts Jr. (age 11) of Ramona caught a nice 3lb 2oz Alpers on a crawler. Weather stayed very warm most......

The weather has been cooperating with the exception for one day, and fishing slowed up a bit until the DFG truck arrived, as always. We are still getting 350 pounds of trout every week and have not been missed all summer. DFG is formulating their air-stocking into the back country and that obviously will be on my priority list for future fish trips. DFG put in some nice fatties a pound and better. I fished Little Virginia a couple times this past week and did great,......
