Fishing The Rock On Saturday

[Don House]

Well Eric and I met up the Kings river for a few hours of just playing.. Happy to say the day started off with a good few hours of fishing.. We caught fish on Jigs, Stickbaits and Wiggle Warts.. All of our bigger fish did come on the Stickbait. Slow with a small pause (15 seconds at best)... I think if we would have really been fishing hard and not just playing around we could have really loaded up on these fish.. Went up farther up river to the muddy water and found warmer water and some wiggle wart fish but the bite was better before the mud line in a little clearer water.. Still all in all a great day just to get out and play.. I would go into more detail but gave my word not to give out too much info and areas. One spot held just about all of our fish with about a 100 yard stretch of bank.. Will say fish the channel banks, channel bends and bluff ends, may fish 200 yards of bank and nothing, then bang there they are.. After noon the wind picked up and then bite flat died, fished until 3:00pm figured out it was time to head to the house.. Thanks Eric had a great time..

Good Fishing Everyone

Don...sounds like a good day. If you don't mind me asking where did you run into the mud line? Thanks

Champ we hit the mud line about 4 miles south of the Viola boat ramp.. Made it down about 2 miles from the Hwy 86 bridge and then came back up.. Sorry, I don't know creek names and stuff, I don't get to fish this area very much.. Probably why Mr. Prey took me up there.

Good Fishing!!

Thanks for the report. I am planning on making it down next weekend.Not sure if I will get to fish much because I have plenty of chores to do. This is my last year of coaching basball from Feb-July. Next year I will be able to post more reports but as I fish it will probably be more what NOT to do. Thanks again for the info.

Champ,

The mudline is pretty much right at Sweetwater and then it clears again about a mile up. Caught fish after it cleared but not the quality we caught in the morning, the clear water is that bright limestone green, I never do real well in that color. We caught most of the better fish on broken rock channel banks not the sheer bluff walls, I know guys ae catching fish on bluffs but I'm doing better where the rock is broken up and there is allot of wood trash in the water.

Good Luck,

Flippin,

Water temps were around 42 in the morning found 46 - 47 up the river but didn't like the water color.

I want to fish Friday, but I am guessing it will be full of FLW and followers.
