    One of two rainbows for the day while I was kayak fishing. Caught them with a worm and and a red salmon egg under a clear float at about 5 feet of depth. I'm ...more estimating the weight because the batteries on my scale were dead.

      Thanks. They stock the lake here once a month from November to March and you can get some decent sized rainbows. The trick is figuring out what they are feeding ...more on.

    Two more rainbows while kayak fishing at Parker Canyon Lake. The go to bait has been a worm about 5 feet under a clear plastic float. Hooked one today on a Mepps ...more Aglia Dressed but couldn't land it.

    Kayak fishing this morning when I hooked into this fat 2 1/2 pound, 17 inch largemouth in Ash Canyon on the rock wall. I was bumping the lure off of the bottom ...more and thought I was snagged until it started running.

    Today's catch. I caught them along the south and west shore using a red wiggler worm on a clear float. The biggest was 11 inches and just over a half pound.

      I was using a drop shot rig with the weight below the hook. I was slowly dragging the weight on the bottom and the worm powerbait was about 12 to 18 inches off ...more of the bottom.

    Details: 9 oz. 8 in. Largemouth Bass with a Tube Jig for Crappie

    Small guy that decided he wanted to try a crappie jig.

      I'm looking at the same options too. Wanted to get a used jon boat with a trailer and then spend money on putting in a deck, seats and electronics. I've ...more had the v hull boat without pedestal seats, without a good trolling motor and no electronics and it just doesnt cut it for me. Just going out there blind, anchoring and fishing plastics just doesnt do it for me anymore either. I camped at Patagonia once and fished visible structure on foot but never got one bass bite over several days. Did not see any fish either but the boats that were set up properly did have fish in the live well. I have never gone to Parker Cyn but it seems like it would be a good lake to fish with a tube because it's a small lake. Gary

      Gary, the last two weeks I've been shore fishing. The two weekends before I was fishing from one of the rental jon boats. I'm thinking of getting something ...more small to get around at Patagonia and Parker Canyon. Definitely better fishing from the lake.

      Chris, are you walking the shore? Have you ever tried a float tube at Patagonia?
    4. Chris Melton 0
      Smallish largemouth. Nothing else and I didn't see anyone catching anything.
