WEBVTT 00:00:01.719 --> 00:00:05.500 It's the Terra Ballet Fishing Radio Show on Gold 00:00:05.500 --> 00:00:08.679 Country Radio. Here's your fishing expert and 00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:16.820 host, Michael Ruffino. Welcome back to Terra 00:00:16.820 --> 00:00:19.699 Ballet Fishing, everybody. We are going to talk 00:00:19.699 --> 00:00:22.059 about, well, we're going to talk about fishing, 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:26.760 of course. But, man, the weather's been beautiful. 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.530 Stocking has been... aggressive. And I'm sorry 00:00:31.530 --> 00:00:34.049 about last week. I was out of town, so you heard 00:00:34.049 --> 00:00:38.729 a repeat of one of my older shows. But we do 00:00:38.729 --> 00:00:43.250 want to talk about the second segment of today's 00:00:43.250 --> 00:00:46.130 show. We're going to go over the stocking schedules. 00:00:46.270 --> 00:00:49.409 So that's really, really important to stay tuned, 00:00:49.750 --> 00:00:52.350 because as we talk about the stocking schedules, 00:00:52.710 --> 00:00:57.329 you want to really tune in to those legal size. 00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.939 the legal size will bring up the big giant fish 00:01:00.939 --> 00:01:04.040 and you want to catch those. You don't want to 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:06.599 catch the legals. You want to catch what's eating 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.700 the legals. You know, it's got to be a pretty 00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:12.140 big fish to be swallowing an 8 to 10 inch rainbow 00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:16.480 trout, right? So, you need to stay tuned for 00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:22.700 that. This coming up is going to be my favorite 00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:28.890 event of the year. and it's on June 7th. So, 00:01:29.090 --> 00:01:31.269 not this weekend, but the following weekend. 00:01:31.909 --> 00:01:37.250 On June 7th at Lake of the Woods. This is a free 00:01:37.250 --> 00:01:40.390 fishing weekend June 7th and 8th. So that's a 00:01:40.390 --> 00:01:43.870 big deal. You don't need a license. You could 00:01:43.870 --> 00:01:46.129 use more than one rod. You could just have fun. 00:01:46.489 --> 00:01:49.989 Take the family to the lake, to the river, any 00:01:49.989 --> 00:01:52.540 body of water and just have a good time. and 00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:54.819 we'll talk about some really good spots you can 00:01:54.819 --> 00:01:58.200 get the kids to catch fish, but I guarantee you 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.319 the kids will be catching a fish at Lake of the 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:07.920 Woods starting at 9 a .m. on June 7th. What we 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.840 do, we have two different areas that we stock 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:16.840 heavily with fish. Trophy size, too. Big fish. 00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:23.539 one is for the six and under and those that are 00:02:23.539 --> 00:02:27.979 challenged in many different ways. Anyway, those 00:02:27.979 --> 00:02:31.719 children are going to have a separate area and 00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.319 we'll have people there with nets and mom and 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.419 dad can help them. We have all the fishing supplies. 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.280 I mean, they're gonna be catching a big old fish. 00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.469 And then, we're going to net off part of the 00:02:44.469 --> 00:02:46.650 marina and we're going to throw a bunch of other 00:02:46.650 --> 00:02:50.310 fish down there. So all those children over six 00:02:50.310 --> 00:02:54.389 years of age and are, you know, healthy, they 00:02:54.389 --> 00:02:58.969 can go fish that area. And this is a family event. 00:02:59.490 --> 00:03:02.210 So the Boy Scouts are usually there. They'll 00:03:02.210 --> 00:03:05.569 clean the fish for them. We have a group in order 00:03:05.569 --> 00:03:09.629 to cook the fish. So you can actually catch a 00:03:09.629 --> 00:03:13.550 fish and eat it. that morning. I mean that or 00:03:13.550 --> 00:03:18.169 that day. This is the day, this is the happiest 00:03:18.169 --> 00:03:23.469 day of the year that you will see children. A 00:03:23.469 --> 00:03:28.590 memory will be created by them on you and then 00:03:28.590 --> 00:03:32.330 by them on them. I mean, we'll see two and three 00:03:32.330 --> 00:03:34.490 -year -olds catch fish and they probably won't 00:03:34.490 --> 00:03:38.189 remember it. Long -term memory hasn't really 00:03:38.189 --> 00:03:40.949 kicked in yet on two and three -year -olds, but 00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:45.300 If they do, it'll be their first memory. So, 00:03:45.580 --> 00:03:51.460 this is an extremely fun event. So, what do we 00:03:51.460 --> 00:03:55.520 do now? What do we do now? So, I would suggest 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.020 going small. So, all your baits, you're going 00:03:59.020 --> 00:04:01.139 to go small. Now, I'm a hard bait type of guy. 00:04:01.580 --> 00:04:05.180 I like fishing hard baits. So, my little itty 00:04:05.180 --> 00:04:09.789 bitty one, one and a half inch baits. that dive 00:04:09.789 --> 00:04:15.409 anywhere from two feet down to six feet, maybe 00:04:15.409 --> 00:04:19.089 even a little deeper, so I can bounce it off 00:04:19.089 --> 00:04:22.910 the rocks on the bottom. And, you know, big lip 00:04:22.910 --> 00:04:27.689 hard baits, these real big lips, they do dive 00:04:27.689 --> 00:04:30.589 deep but you really don't want them to swim freely 00:04:30.589 --> 00:04:33.449 through the water. you want them to go down and 00:04:33.449 --> 00:04:37.610 hit the bottom and bounce off the bottom of the 00:04:37.610 --> 00:04:41.629 lake or river and that gets fish's attention. 00:04:42.689 --> 00:04:47.709 So fish actually make a clicking sound when when 00:04:47.709 --> 00:04:52.370 they talk and they all fish do this and you'll 00:04:52.370 --> 00:04:56.930 find that hard baits have rattles and rattles 00:04:57.929 --> 00:05:02.029 different frequencies will hit the fish's attention. 00:05:02.930 --> 00:05:08.310 Now fish typically will hit when they're hungry 00:05:08.310 --> 00:05:12.009 or when they're threatened. So those are the 00:05:12.009 --> 00:05:15.889 two reasons fish like to, you know, you'll get 00:05:15.889 --> 00:05:20.509 a fish on hook. So if they're hungry, you're 00:05:20.509 --> 00:05:22.990 going to feed them during feeding times. I've 00:05:22.990 --> 00:05:25.850 covered this before. So first thing in the morning, 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.759 late in the afternoon. Those are their feeding 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:35.160 times. When will they hit a threat? All day long. 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:42.699 This is why I enjoy hard baits. Hard baits, which 00:05:42.699 --> 00:05:47.019 I do make, I paint these by hand and then I coat 00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:53.019 them and fit them and stuff like that. Hard baits 00:05:53.019 --> 00:05:58.240 will shake violently and then make this rattling 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.839 sound like a castanet. Some are silent, some 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:06.720 are not. Most are not. But they have basically 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.920 little babies in them. And inside the chambers, 00:06:11.060 --> 00:06:17.279 I have some that have metal chambers and some 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.560 are plastic chambers. And some are wood chambers. 00:06:20.990 --> 00:06:23.769 And because of the resonance of those different 00:06:23.769 --> 00:06:27.389 elements and whether they have one or more BB 00:06:27.389 --> 00:06:31.129 in them, they're going to create different sonic 00:06:31.129 --> 00:06:34.750 sounds. Now you'll find that all fish will respond 00:06:34.750 --> 00:06:39.350 to sonic sounds. They'll be curious or they'll 00:06:39.350 --> 00:06:42.149 be aggressive against it because it's a noise 00:06:42.149 --> 00:06:45.389 coming at them. It's kind of like, you know, 00:06:45.389 --> 00:06:48.209 if you saw a screaming person coming at you. 00:06:48.689 --> 00:06:52.000 I mean defenses go up. and you're in a protective 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.740 mode or you just run away. It all depends on 00:06:55.740 --> 00:07:00.480 the type of person you are. This time of year 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.199 they're spawning so they're protecting their 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.439 nest. Now if you're any decent person you're 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:10.220 going to be protecting your children. So when 00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:13.339 you run these things through the water and this 00:07:13.339 --> 00:07:17.410 thing is coming at them shaking violently they're 00:07:17.410 --> 00:07:21.750 protecting their bed where they're young or they 00:07:21.750 --> 00:07:25.730 haven't hatched or they have hatched, they will 00:07:25.730 --> 00:07:28.730 attack a hard bait. They will, and they'll do 00:07:28.730 --> 00:07:31.449 it all day long. Now, mind you, they'll do it 00:07:31.449 --> 00:07:33.410 more in the morning and late in the afternoon, 00:07:33.410 --> 00:07:38.970 but again, you're triggering an instinct. You're 00:07:38.970 --> 00:07:45.910 triggering it. Now, the neat thing about a reaction 00:07:45.910 --> 00:07:48.649 strike, a protective strike, an aggressive strike, 00:07:49.029 --> 00:07:53.310 is that it's more violent. A feeding strike, 00:07:53.410 --> 00:07:56.829 let's say we put a fish on a worm, I mean a worm 00:07:56.829 --> 00:07:59.529 on a hook, and the fish goes ahead and starts 00:07:59.529 --> 00:08:02.410 nibbling at it, and it takes a little bit off 00:08:02.410 --> 00:08:04.689 in this little, and it basically is, you know, 00:08:04.769 --> 00:08:06.910 eating around the edges before it gets to the 00:08:06.910 --> 00:08:10.860 hook, or just bites the whole thing. but you'll 00:08:10.860 --> 00:08:13.660 find that pan fish will go ahead and just sort 00:08:13.660 --> 00:08:21.259 of eat it from the ends forward. So the bite 00:08:21.259 --> 00:08:28.360 on food, let's say power bait or a worm, is softer. 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:33.879 So when you're feeding them food, it's a soft 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:38.860 hit. But if you're fishing if you're threatening 00:08:38.860 --> 00:08:43.259 them, it's a more violent hit. And so, when they 00:08:43.259 --> 00:08:46.840 hit it, they're attacking it because they want 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.940 to kill it. And they're trying to protect themselves 00:08:50.940 --> 00:08:58.279 or their family around them. Hopefully, you understand, 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:02.539 you know, there are two ways of fishing. You 00:09:02.539 --> 00:09:07.490 know, feed them, attack them. So that's really 00:09:07.490 --> 00:09:10.730 what you're going to be doing. And this time 00:09:10.730 --> 00:09:16.610 of year, I attack. I just attack. When they stalk 00:09:16.610 --> 00:09:22.629 lakes, thousands of fish are thrown into the 00:09:22.629 --> 00:09:25.950 lake and they're in shock. And they don't know 00:09:25.950 --> 00:09:28.129 what to do, but they're not hungry. They're not 00:09:28.129 --> 00:09:31.029 going to think, oh, it's time to eat. No, that's 00:09:31.029 --> 00:09:33.730 not what they do. They literally are in shock. 00:09:33.909 --> 00:09:40.539 Some of them die. And so when you throw a spinner 00:09:40.539 --> 00:09:46.240 in the water, spinners actually will create a 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.500 flash and something that they didn't see at the 00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:53.899 fishery and they'll attack it. Blue Fox spinners 00:09:53.899 --> 00:09:57.279 has a little bell and a chamber in them. And 00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.500 Blue Fox spinners, which is one of my favorite 00:09:59.500 --> 00:10:02.700 spinners unless I make one, and I do make spinners 00:10:02.700 --> 00:10:06.639 just because it's a lot cheaper, They actually 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:11.299 make a sonic noise, and that noise threatens 00:10:11.299 --> 00:10:15.120 the trout or bass or whatever else wants to hit 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:20.360 it. So noise, a lot, you know, when I was growing 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:25.139 up, you always go to the fisher, you know, you 00:10:25.139 --> 00:10:27.799 try to approach a fisherman, you're always told 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:31.779 to be really quiet, be very quiet. I'm hunting 00:10:31.779 --> 00:10:38.559 wabbit. But, you know, I go fishing, you know, 00:10:38.659 --> 00:10:41.240 I find that I do pretty good when I'm playing, 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:45.620 you know, the 70s rock and rolls, you know. Get 00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:48.340 a little Doobie Brothers on, bam, catch a bass. 00:10:48.779 --> 00:10:51.419 Get a little Eagles on, boom, get yourself a 00:10:51.419 --> 00:10:56.120 Somali, you know, stuff like that. It, I, you 00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:01.159 know, maybe, maybe I fish quiet, I fish with 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:04.610 music. or listening to an audiobook or something 00:11:04.610 --> 00:11:16.610 like that. I catch fish. I catch fish. Maybe 00:11:16.610 --> 00:11:22.009 you guys will disagree with me. Some people say, 00:11:22.129 --> 00:11:25.629 ooh, the fish saw you. Don't let them see you. 00:11:26.990 --> 00:11:28.769 I don't think that makes much of a difference 00:11:28.769 --> 00:11:31.429 if you don't disturb the waters or anything. 00:11:33.319 --> 00:11:37.820 I mean, sight fishing is common. You know, standing 00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:40.519 up on my boat and then casting out when I see 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.639 a fish and hooking it. I do that all the time. 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:47.399 If I can see the fish, it can see me. Okay? It's 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.860 just the way it is. So maybe some of these are 00:11:50.860 --> 00:11:54.259 wives' tales. Or maybe a fisherman just doesn't 00:11:54.259 --> 00:12:00.190 want to hear you talk. That could be. I probably 00:12:00.190 --> 00:12:04.769 get that more often than any of you. But that's 00:12:04.769 --> 00:12:07.950 the fun part. I mean, when we go fishing, I want 00:12:07.950 --> 00:12:10.769 you to enjoy it. You know, we've got a free fishing 00:12:10.769 --> 00:12:14.850 weekend in a week. A free fishing weekend is 00:12:14.850 --> 00:12:17.750 for everybody. You go down to Juano or Veterans 00:12:17.750 --> 00:12:20.769 Park, throw it out there. Go to the Link River, 00:12:20.889 --> 00:12:23.470 throw it out there. Go to Upper Klamath over 00:12:23.470 --> 00:12:25.860 at Moor Park. They've got a little fishing dock 00:12:25.860 --> 00:12:28.080 there. I mean, just toss it out there with the 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.419 kids. Bring some soda pop and some sandwiches 00:12:31.419 --> 00:12:35.460 and some snacks for everybody. To be honest, 00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:39.019 spending a day with your children in the outdoors 00:12:39.019 --> 00:12:41.940 or your family or your loved one, you know, your 00:12:41.940 --> 00:12:46.899 wife, your girlfriend, boyfriend, whatever, it's 00:12:46.899 --> 00:12:52.090 everything. Sit down and, you know, I like bird 00:12:52.090 --> 00:12:55.090 watching. There was this event that happened. 00:12:55.450 --> 00:12:56.929 I don't know if they're still doing it every 00:12:56.929 --> 00:13:00.429 year. It's called the Big Sit. And basically, 00:13:01.110 --> 00:13:05.169 you pick an area and you sit there. And for 24 00:13:05.169 --> 00:13:08.889 hours, you can camp there if you want, if they 00:13:08.889 --> 00:13:12.029 allow it. And you have to log all the different 00:13:12.029 --> 00:13:15.519 birds that you hear and see. And the competition 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:21.620 is nationally, and who saw the most birds? Now, 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:25.360 wetlands and stuff like that, we've got the best 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:30.460 big set areas. But you sit there and you just 00:13:30.460 --> 00:13:34.860 take it in. Fishing is the same way. Fishing 00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:39.899 is you sit there and you take it in. And once 00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:42.120 in a while they take what you got to give them. 00:13:45.909 --> 00:13:51.230 This is what we live for, you know, when it comes 00:13:51.230 --> 00:13:54.669 to mankind was put on this earth to take care 00:13:54.669 --> 00:13:59.250 of the earth and to observe and to enjoy. And 00:13:59.250 --> 00:14:03.409 that's, you know, when you think about anything, 00:14:03.409 --> 00:14:08.450 you know, deep, this is what we do. This is our 00:14:08.450 --> 00:14:13.250 job to sit, listen and take care. the things 00:14:13.250 --> 00:14:18.230 around us. And it is our purpose. And if you 00:14:18.230 --> 00:14:21.250 don't go outdoors, you're missing your purpose 00:14:21.250 --> 00:14:26.529 in life. So, this next weekend I would encourage 00:14:26.529 --> 00:14:29.429 everybody who's hearing this and for you to tell 00:14:29.429 --> 00:14:33.570 your friends and to get groups together and go 00:14:33.570 --> 00:14:36.090 to Lake of the Woods.

Now, first 00:16:57.340 --> 00:16:59.580 I'll give you a little bit of news about me. 00:17:01.129 --> 00:17:05.609 I'm restricted from driving. You probably heard 00:17:05.609 --> 00:17:12.289 that. Because of my neurological situation, the 00:17:12.289 --> 00:17:14.869 thing about neurology is it's unpredictable. 00:17:16.269 --> 00:17:19.990 It just is. I could be fine and then wake up 00:17:19.990 --> 00:17:22.509 on the floor and then wonder how I got there. 00:17:24.009 --> 00:17:30.869 Because of that, I can't drive. The passion to 00:17:30.869 --> 00:17:34.130 fish is still in me. I mean, I am working very, 00:17:34.130 --> 00:17:37.650 very hard to figure a way out that I can fish 00:17:37.650 --> 00:17:42.970 and have a little freedom. So I'm working my 00:17:42.970 --> 00:17:45.269 channel and trying to get, you know, the radio 00:17:45.269 --> 00:17:49.309 show, this and that. Just see if I can figure 00:17:49.309 --> 00:17:52.369 out a way to do this. And I'm thinking I can 00:17:52.369 --> 00:17:54.950 eat trike or something like that to get me, you 00:17:54.950 --> 00:17:57.849 know, and work the area around my house. I mean, 00:17:57.849 --> 00:18:00.500 I've got two lakes and a river right next to 00:18:00.500 --> 00:18:02.819 my house. And then a little farther up, I've 00:18:02.819 --> 00:18:05.480 got a few more rivers. I mean, to be honest, 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:10.700 you know, that's why I moved here. So we're going 00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:13.220 to go to my YouTube channel, Charitable of Fishing, 00:18:13.619 --> 00:18:17.200 for some updates on this because as I venture 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:22.579 out around Klamath Falls, it's going to be exciting 00:18:22.579 --> 00:18:27.039 and it's going to be an adventure, truly an adventure. 00:18:28.509 --> 00:18:33.650 So I really kind of excited about it mad at the 00:18:33.650 --> 00:18:37.829 same time Really am NOT very happy about being 00:18:37.829 --> 00:18:41.710 I haven't been grounded since I was a child But 00:18:41.710 --> 00:18:45.130 to be honest, I was grounded for life many times 00:18:45.130 --> 00:18:47.869 and I guess it finally caught up to me Although 00:18:47.869 --> 00:18:50.849 mom's dead so she would never know All right. 00:18:50.849 --> 00:18:54.220 Let's go look at a few lakes stocking schedules. 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.160 Let's look at Fish Lake, alright? We know that 00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.460 this next week, Lake of the Woods is going to 00:18:59.460 --> 00:19:01.519 get their stock. We know when they're getting 00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:03.400 their stock too. They're going to be getting 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:04.960 their stock on Friday. We're going to put them 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:09.500 in those holding areas. Now, after the fishing 00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:13.660 event for the kids, what they didn't catch is 00:19:13.660 --> 00:19:16.440 going to be released into the lake late Saturday. 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:21.380 So, just heads up. Lake of the Woods will have 00:19:21.380 --> 00:19:25.950 fresh stock. for everybody late Saturday. Fish 00:19:25.950 --> 00:19:31.470 Lake this last week got 3 ,500 legals. So that's 00:19:31.470 --> 00:19:35.069 great, right? And then this next week they're 00:19:35.069 --> 00:19:38.950 going to get 2 ,250 legals. Now the great thing 00:19:38.950 --> 00:19:40.990 about this is the bigger fish are going to be 00:19:40.990 --> 00:19:43.670 eating them up. Those tiger trout that you're 00:19:43.670 --> 00:19:46.190 not allowed to keep, they're hitting these guys. 00:19:46.730 --> 00:19:52.920 So really a fun time over at Fish Lake, they've 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:59.779 got plenty of action in their waters. Now let's 00:19:59.779 --> 00:20:03.059 go to Lost Creek Reservoir. Lost Creek Reservoir 00:20:03.059 --> 00:20:09.319 is a big fishery. Well, let's not go there because 00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:13.180 they're not getting anything. Let's check Willow 00:20:13.180 --> 00:20:25.859 Lake. sometimes oh you know what willow lake 00:20:25.859 --> 00:20:37.140 is called something different um let's see they're 00:20:37.140 --> 00:20:40.559 called something different uh i gotta remember 00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:47.220 that i just gotta remember that uh philips reservoir 00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:52.180 is gonna have 9500 legals uh Just this last week, 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.640 they got 9 ,500 legals tossed into them. So great 00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:04.279 time. That's southeast. I want southwest. Come 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:07.880 on. Here we go. Come on. Here we go. We're working 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:13.799 it. All right. There's Fish Lake. Hyatt Reservoir. 00:21:14.779 --> 00:21:23.750 They just got 7 ,450. 7 ,450 legals put in there. 00:21:23.930 --> 00:21:27.150 Hyatt's gonna be rockin' it. So, that's a, I 00:21:27.150 --> 00:21:30.869 mean, nice lake, too. Really nice lake, Hyatt. 00:21:31.109 --> 00:21:35.829 Not very far from town, either. We don't want 00:21:35.829 --> 00:21:38.890 that. Then we don't want that, that, that. Med 00:21:38.890 --> 00:21:42.009 Copon. If you've never done Med Copon, it's a 00:21:42.009 --> 00:21:47.210 cute, cute, easy, easy water body to catch fish. 00:21:47.430 --> 00:21:51.700 They just, got 2 ,000 Legals dumped into Med 00:21:51.700 --> 00:21:57.839 Copon. So, really, really, really good for the 00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:04.059 kids. So, that's a good one. Let's see what else. 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:13.519 We're going to have to... Lost Lake? Clear Lake? 00:22:14.539 --> 00:22:17.819 Clear Lake is a little farther away. It's a little 00:22:17.819 --> 00:22:26.640 further away. Yeah, I'm going through them right 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:37.859 now. I'm going to type in Gerber. Come on. Little 00:22:37.859 --> 00:22:45.039 Gerber, huh? Willow Valley? Willow Creek Reservoir. 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:52.680 Oh, that's it. That's Willow Lake, formerly Willow 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.420 Creek Reservoir. So, yeah, I just gotta remember 00:22:56.420 --> 00:23:01.460 that they renamed it. And, let's see, we're gonna 00:23:01.460 --> 00:23:03.960 go a little farther out. Let's see if they're 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:05.640 getting anything in the next couple weeks. They 00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:08.500 are not getting anything in the next couple weeks. 00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:29.190 So, c 'est la vie! Let's go to Thompson Reservoir. 00:23:29.349 --> 00:23:33.109 Let's see what they're getting. These guys have 00:23:33.109 --> 00:23:38.849 gotten a ton of stock recently and you just got 00:23:38.849 --> 00:23:43.670 to go up to these places and just have at it. 00:23:45.370 --> 00:23:48.289 Alright, well, they're not doing a lot of stock 00:23:48.289 --> 00:23:56.769 in this, but the waters are warming up. With 00:23:56.769 --> 00:24:00.069 warm temperature, the water is warming up, and 00:24:00.069 --> 00:24:02.630 with warm water, fish become more aggressive 00:24:02.630 --> 00:24:07.490 and more active. The inversions have happened. 00:24:08.170 --> 00:24:11.549 Believe it or not, you know, the inversions, 00:24:11.549 --> 00:24:13.369 if they haven't happened, they're happening. 00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:16.039 What an inversion is, is where the cold water 00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:20.380 and the warm water trade places. And what happens 00:24:20.380 --> 00:24:26.079 when that happens is that they mix. Cold and 00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:30.420 warm water mix, and it confuses the fish. So 00:24:30.420 --> 00:24:33.640 sometimes it's harder to catch fish, but when 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:38.680 you catch fish, it can be anything. It can be 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:41.500 anything. but you know the bass are warm water 00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:43.900 fish so they're coming up and and they've come 00:24:43.900 --> 00:24:47.380 up you know one of the best places to catch bass 00:24:47.380 --> 00:24:52.940 and panfish is over in bonanza right excuse me 00:24:52.940 --> 00:24:57.819 at the springs part because those are warm water 00:24:57.819 --> 00:25:02.559 spring springs water 75 degrees are better you 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:05.900 can catch a lot of fish right there at the Springs 00:25:05.900 --> 00:25:08.380 Park. Lots of good little spots, you know, little 00:25:08.380 --> 00:25:10.779 bridges, little this and that's over there. A 00:25:10.779 --> 00:25:14.759 lot of mud. You will sink a bit, but it's beautiful 00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:19.240 right now. Gerber is hitting really well on panfishing. 00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:27.170 Do not forget to go over to Emigrants Lake. Immigrants 00:25:27.170 --> 00:25:30.049 Lake is another really good lake for crappie 00:25:30.049 --> 00:25:34.690 fishing. I'm a big crappie lover. Again, small 00:25:34.690 --> 00:25:36.829 jigs, a little bit of power bait on it, boom 00:25:36.829 --> 00:25:39.210 drop it down, and one minute you'll be pulling 00:25:39.210 --> 00:25:42.470 them up. It's just such an easy thing to get 00:25:42.470 --> 00:25:46.630 and they are very tasty and they're very big 00:25:46.630 --> 00:25:50.250 at Immigrant Lake. Same thing over at Gerber. 00:25:50.690 --> 00:25:56.309 Gerber got a lot of the stock from from Topsy 00:25:56.309 --> 00:26:01.250 and was taken over there, so they got some fresh 00:26:01.250 --> 00:26:04.569 breeding stock of bluegills and other things 00:26:04.569 --> 00:26:09.970 and big bass. So again, this is the best fishing 00:26:09.970 --> 00:26:13.190 year we've ever had. Again, one of the worst 00:26:13.190 --> 00:26:15.750 things that can happen to me is being grounded, 00:26:15.809 --> 00:26:19.210 so I'm working on it. I'm working on it. I did 00:26:19.210 --> 00:26:21.289 have some people volunteer to take me fishing, 00:26:21.730 --> 00:26:23.829 but I've been out of town. I've been kind of 00:26:23.829 --> 00:26:31.299 sick. But if you're a fisherman, you still want 00:26:31.299 --> 00:26:35.599 a little bit of freedom. Sometimes I wake up 00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:38.180 and I think, God, I want to go fishing. And you 00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:41.740 usually jump in your truck and you just go. Maybe 00:26:41.740 --> 00:26:46.180 I can jump on my bike and go. It's just what 00:26:46.180 --> 00:26:52.849 you want to do that day or that morning. You 00:26:52.849 --> 00:26:56.069 feel sorry for me yet? No, you probably don't. 00:26:58.130 --> 00:27:01.750 I'm driving my wife crazy, that's for sure, but 00:27:01.750 --> 00:27:07.109 we'll figure it out. Figuring it out is challenging. 00:27:07.950 --> 00:27:10.390 I was gonna say it's half the fun. It's not. 00:27:10.509 --> 00:27:12.390 All the fun is when you get out there and fish. 00:27:12.890 --> 00:27:18.109 But I had a great weekend last week. I went to 00:27:18.109 --> 00:27:20.349 a little town called Silverton. You guys know 00:27:20.349 --> 00:27:24.130 where Silverton is? It's over by Salem. And Silverton 00:27:24.130 --> 00:27:27.509 is one of the cutest, cutest, cutest, cutest 00:27:27.509 --> 00:27:33.410 little towns. Beautiful town. And I just spent 00:27:33.410 --> 00:27:37.349 the weekend there. I just, wow. I mean, how many 00:27:37.349 --> 00:27:39.549 cute little towns does Oregon have? I'll bet 00:27:39.549 --> 00:27:43.000 you there's hundreds of them. Silverton is one 00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:46.019 of those cute little towns that you can go see 00:27:46.019 --> 00:27:49.000 some waterfalls, see some beautiful manicured 00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:53.940 gardens, old houses that look like museums, great 00:27:53.940 --> 00:27:57.400 food, tons of great eat. When you went to a place, 00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:01.599 I just picked it off of a map, but it was next 00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:04.839 to a safeway. It's called Extapa. It's a Mexican 00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:08.000 restaurant in the mall or in that strip mall. 00:28:09.930 --> 00:28:14.170 best Mexican food. Really, my children went on 00:28:14.170 --> 00:28:17.529 and on and on about how good the food was. I 00:28:17.529 --> 00:28:23.390 had octopus. I love octopus.

This is 7 Up 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:25.799 Zero. That means I can drink as much as I want 00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:29.279 and not get fatter. Although, I'm getting fatter. 00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:36.599 So...
