SUMMER IS HERE AND SO ARE THE PANFISH
July 8th, 2009 by Sean Fenner
I have not really had alot of time to go fishing lately, so I have been hitting up the local Park Lakes with the small amount of time that I have to fish. I have been taking two rods with me a 5 weight for the bass and a 3 weight for the Panfish. The Bass action hasn’t been as good as I have hoped, but I can’t keep the Panfish off the line. The other day I went over to Mile Square Park Lake for maybe about 30 minutes to an hour and I must have pulled out at least 50 small Panfish. They’re not big, but a fish is a fish and they scrap hard for their size!!!

Did you actually catch some of those on the surface with drys?

Yep, they will hit drys all day, but they come up so reckless that they usually miss. So I use the dropper about 6-12 inches off the dry and they will hit the nymph first. You should go out and try it some time, it is a fun way to catch a ton of fish if you only have a little bit of time!

I was talking to someone about your site and mile square park, he told me that there is actually a rule at mile square against fly casting? Do you know anything about this?

Dan,
I don’t know anything about a rule against fly casting. I have talked to many of the park rangers and people from the California Department of Fish and Game and have never been told anything. I have however been told by park tangers at other parks to be aware of people behind me while casting (which is a no brainer). Thanks for the comment and Tight Lines!!!

When do they start stocking trout and what days of the week/month do they stock?
