Post-Spawn Lunkers Smacking Lures At El Salto Lake
The big post-spawn bass are being caught mostly off points, humps, islands and up on the flats. Some bass are suspending. That’s why Pradco’s Fat Free Shad is starting to catch some really nice fish, especially in the afternoon when the wind picks up. Other great afternoon wind baits recently have been ¾ to 1 ½-ounce spinnerbaits.

Fly Fishing Tackle For Lake El Salto |
|
|
|
| Rods- 8 to 9 weight (Bring 3 if possible, which gives you a spare) | | Reels- Tibor, Pate, Able – basically any good reel that accommodates 8 or 9 weight lines, again, bring three if possible – two loaded with floating line and one with sinking. | | Lines- Weight forward floating 8 or 9 wt. Ex: Rio Clouser Tropic Sinking Line in 8 or 9 wt. – Scientific Anglers Uniform Sink type III is a good one (you can fish this similar to the conventional tackle guys fish a plastic worm as well as a variety of other options) | | Leaders- 9’ fluorocarbon, 20 lb test (you can always trim back a little) | | Tippet- Don’t use it! Bring plenty of leaders and go with a “Loop to Loop” connection to your butt section and change out daily or whenever frayed. This eliminates one extra knot that could cause you that trophy fish! | | Flies- Poppers, Bunny Patterns in olive or black are excellent, streamers such as “Whitlocks Swimming Baitfish” and “Shinabou Shiners”, also Dahlberg Divers or other baitfish imitations. | | Obviously- Nippers, pliers, extra butt section, leatherman, sunscreen and appropriate clothing. | | Note- Bring more flies and leaders than you think you’ll need. There is NO local option. | | Also- plan to catch more fish than the guys with conventional tackle. As to size – don’t think you’ll be looking at smaller fish because you’re fishing with a flyrod, it’s simply not true. You can and should land trophy size fish on this lake with a flyrod. There anr not too many places in the world where you can have the chance to hook up a 10 lb + Largemouth Bass everyday. | | Good bet for supplies – Durangler’s Flies and Supplies 1-970-385-4081. Tell them where you’re going and they’ll know what you need; |

Fly Fishing At Lake El Salto |
|
|
|
 | I recently took my second trip to Lake El Salto and experienced my second best fishing trip of my life. The best trip was the first time I went to this incredible lake. I caught 200 - 250 Bass in 3 1/2 days of fishing. 40 - 50 of these fish were over five pounds. Many of them into the 7 and 8 pound range. These kind of numbers can only be produced by lake El Salto. I caught fish with plastics, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, etc. I even brought my fly rod and landed fish every day on the fly. My biggest on the fly rod was just under six pounds.My wife even managed to land a 10 1/2 pound monster. I am a professional bass fishing guide at the Alisal Guest Ranch and I know what quality fishing and service should be like. The service and fishing conditions at lake El Salto are the best I have ever experienced. The food, drinks, guides, staff, and FISH are unforgettable. Hurry and book your trip! The big one is waiting. Jason Grupp 805-698-2879 368 Midten Hof Solvang, Ca. 93463

Late February Produces Trophy
Bass For El Salto Anglers
Some of El Salto’s bucketmouths have already spawned and moved to deeper water. Some are still up on the nest. That’s why Yum Dingers and Yamamoto Senkos are still the favorite baits early and late. Wacky rigging these effective plastics without a weight and fishing them slow has been the key. Top colors lately have been watermelon and watermelon with red flakes. For larger bass, 6 and 7-inch soft plastic jerkbait have been better. For post-spawn females, the top bait is the Zoom 8-inch watermelon lizard rigged Texas or Carolina Style.
