Crowley 5/27, perch & 'bows w/pics

[Smitty]

Got off the phone with my folks about 2:30pm today...they were on Crowley....so this is a second-hand report.

They had wide open perch fishing all morning fishing in about 10ft of water accross from Green Banks(?). Fish were biting on pumpkinseed or white/brown grubs tipped with crappie niblets however when they switched over to greenish/black mini-jigs they started getting more and better quality fish. Most productive technique seemed to be drifting with the jig about 6ft under a bobber.

They started targeting trout about 1:30pm and had already scored a few beautifully colored rainbows in the 1.5lb range. They were slow trolling needlefish in cop car & hot pink down 3 colors. Wind is coming up so they probably called it a day shortly after our conversation but were having a blast out there.

Anyhow....there it is. I wish it was me but oh well.....might as well be my folks if it can't be me.

Here are a few pics my folks sent me of their Day on the lake...

Dude, I know what you mean! I'm dying to get up there in a big way.....I was stoked for my folks though...they're blessed to have a few more days of sierra fun ahead of them too, lucky devils! haha!!! I'll try and post another report on their behalf sometime this weekend, I think they're going to hit the June loop tomorrow.

Nice! I used to always fish Crowley back in the day. I usually go stream fishing now in that area. Its more challenging and fun for me since I get to hike around.
