Bridgeport Reservoir Fish Report 07-09-07

Bridgeport Reservoir - Bridgeport, CA (Mono County)


7-9-2007

The fish are in deeper water this year due to the ever dropping levels at the Bridge.?? Fly fishers are finding challenging conditions due to heavy weed and low water in Buckeye Bay.?? Fishing full sinks with Drifters damsel fly nymphs, blood sucking Vanderleeches, or our new callibaetis pattern called the "KillA baetis" can get you into some quality fish in the deeper weed free water.?? Make a quick mental note if you get a grab or fish as to how deep (how much fly line you have out) and where you got bit.?? Set up a criss cross pattern through this area and it will pay off.?? Fish have a tendency to pod up under these conditions and once you locate them they generally remain close to an area due to water temp, depth, etc?ΔΆ ??

Many thanks and high fives to all the folks at the Bridgeport Fisheries Enhancement Program. They put together a great tourney here that raised thousands of dollars for the improvement of this areas fishery.?? Sierra Drifters Guide Service is an active participant of supporting this regions fisheries enhancement.??
