Fishing Report HWY 4 Corridor for April 27, 2010~by Bill Reynolds of Ebbetts Pass Sporting Goods

The opener was this past Saturday the 24Th. It was one of the toughest fishing openers that I can recall. It was a beautiful weekend but due to recent snows most places were not accessible. The North Fork of the Stanislaus was about the only place to fish. There was big Brown Trout caught by one of our customers Kevin R. Kevin was using a Rapala when the 4lb. 1oz., 22inch fish hit. It was a challenge to get the fish as the water was high and fast. Congratulations to Kevin....

I have worked diligently with the Department of Fish and Game since I heard about the second lawsuit. I submitted for a private stocking permit along with DFG planting. We are waiting to hear from Calaveras County to see if they will help. I received a call last Thursday with the go ahead for my private planting permit and information that White Pines Lake located near Arnold will be on the PLANT LIST for this year. DFG will be planting first, as I need to solicit funds for any private plants. There is a donation jar at the store and any company donations will be greatly appreciated and should be sent directly to Bill Reynolds, c/o Ebbetts Pass Sporting Goods, P.O. Box 579, Arnold, CA 95223. If you need further information you can contact us at the store 209-795-1686.

White Pines Lake is scheduled to be planted this week. YEA! About time. Try using the new Salmon Egg, Garlic and Hatchery Pellet scented Power Baits on a 24" to 30" leader and a cast-a-bubble. Also try Gulp and Power floating Eggs, along with nightcrawlers. Lure casters should try Kastmasters, Panther Martin's, and Rooster Tails. Fly fishermen should try ants, sparrow nymphs, woolly buggers and bead head nymphs.

The North Fork of the Stanislaus River will still be running high due to snow runoff. Bait casters should try crickets, salmon eggs, nightcrawlers. Power Bait has just released their new scents for 2010. They now have salmon egg scent, and garlic in the popular colors, along with the new hatchery pellet scent. Lure casters should try Panther Martin's, Rooster Tails, and Rapalas. Fly fishermen should try bead head nymphs and sinking line as the flows are fast and high due to runoff.

Beaver Creek and the North Fork of the Stanislaus inside Big Trees State Park is due to open by this weekend. Please call before heading there as we are still experiencing some extreme weather this week. Their number is 209-795-2334. It is also a wonderful place to take your family and enjoy the magnificent Trees that we have in our backyard.

We will have our annual fly seminar on Saturday May 15Th, from 9:00AM-12:00PM. Fly reps will be on hand for demos and instruction.

Camping is limited due to all the recent weather.. Big Trees State Park is located on Highway 4 approximately three Miles above Arnold. You can contact them at 209-795-2334 or their website www.ca.gov and go to Calaveras Big Trees. There is also Golden Pines RV Resort. Their website is www.goldenpinesrvresort.com.

Right now we are looking forward to resuming our Father's Day Derby this year.

Thanks to all of our customers for your patronage. We look forward to seeing you soon
