Ready and Eager to Get Fishing? Central Sierra/Hwy 4 Fishing Report for April 7, 2008~From Bill Reynolds
Hello to all you fishermen, ready and eager to get fishing. Sierra stream fishing opens Saturday, April 26, 2008. Access to the Stanislaus River will be limited to Calaveras Big Trees State Park and Boards Crossing Road in Dorrington. The Gate to Beaver Creek through Sourgrass crossing should be open by then. NCPA anticipates having Spicer open by Memorial weekend, depending on the snowmelt and weather. For an update on the road to Spicer you can call 209-728-1387. Alpine still has quite a bit of snow around it. Hobart Creek is not open until JULY 1ST 2008!.....
Before we get into conditions in our fishing areas, I would like to invite all Fly Fishing People to attend Ebbetts Pass Sporting Goods Fly Fishing Seminar on Saturday, May 10th at White Pines Lake beginning at 10 a.m. We will have instructors there who will demonstrate and be able teach beginners. There will be items on display to look at that we will be carrying this year in our store. We will be expanding our Fly fishing line immensely. The Representative from St. Croux will be here. The fee is $5.00 per person. Each entry ticket will be put into the raffle bin to win prizes. Save the day, it should be a lot of fun.
The snowmelt is on and the North Fork of the Stanislaus is running high. Baitcasters will probably have the bet luck split-shotting salmon eggs, floating Power Eggs, Crickets, or inflated worms with a 15 to 20 inch leader. Fly casters can try weights or bead head nymphs with a sink tip line. It will be tough fishing lures, but there are some slower moving areas where you can try spinners, Rapala's or Kastmasters.
The water in the creeks is high. Beaver Creek should be planted through Big Trees, so the same methods will apply there. Angels and Murphys creeks should also receive plants for the opener. There is a large group of anglers from the Bay Area tat hold a Derby there every year on opening day so it may be crowded until early afternoon. All other high country lakes are still frozen or inaccessible.
Camping is available at Big Trees State Park and Golden Pines just beyond the park on Highway 4. Campgrounds in the Stanislaus National Forest are not officially open, but there are spots available along the river. For camping information call the Calaveras Ranger District at (209) 795-1381 or go to their website at http://www.r5.fs.fed.us/stanislaus/calaveras or try Big Trees State Park at (209) 795-2334. Their website is http://www.sierra.parks.state.ca.us/cbt/btfacts.htm or Golden Pines at http://www.goldenpinesrvresort.com.
