Hit two of my favorite old haunts Saturday afternoon after work(actually got off at 3!) Was on water by 4:30'ish. Fished till dark. Found some sandies, crappie, and largemouths. First stop, Frazier Dam. only 3 keeper sandies, 3 or 4 throwbacks, and one brief battle with a rather large hybrid striper. Then on to Helmet Lake. 6 bass(4 of them dinks) and 3 really nice crappie. Frazier dam, with my buddy and home depot customer Carlos  Elm fork/Frazier dam sandies  Helmet Lake crappie  Carlos with the big crappie of the day:  Mixed bag Helmet/Frazier crappie, bass, sandies  Elm Fork White ready to spawn:  Gonna get real good, real soon! Elm Fork Sandies and lost hybrid on 2 inch white curly tail grubs, on 1/8th oz UNPAINTED jig heads. Blacks and crappie from Helmet on Blue Fox rooster tail knockoffs. Went back on President's Day and in less than one hour of jig/bobbering, got these keepers:  Gave em a break on Tuesday, stopped by Wednesday for about 45 minutes on way to evening job, and got these, plus 3 throwbacks, also jig/bobbering:  Then Thursday stopped by on way to evening job, with a TFF'er bud, and we only caught two, one of them an absolute monster crappie. I am not posting pic of that one because my buddy took the pic and he'll post it if he wants to. His was at least 13 inches and mine was considerably larger and longer. All fish caught monday-through thursday came from Helmet Lake. Rudy

Actually the river had a strong flow today but not overwhelming, I could see it from the freeway bridge, and it looked fishable. I opted for Helmet Lake, and found some dandy slab crappie.

Helmet Lake, Monday afternoon, between 5-6. Jig/bobber, jig 14-18 inches under bobber, in roughly 1-4 ft of water. To give you persepective, the smaller fish measured 11 inches. 2 came it at 12, and the biggest one at 13 inches.  No females yet, just big males. Haven't caught a throwback yet. Slowly but surely building a stash of fillets for lent. Rudy
