Goin' to Newman tomorrow, probably for the last time this year. Anybody want to join me, I'll be there around 10:00 A.M. and rowing the south 1/4th of the lake. I'll be in a 12' jon boat. I just need to go float my boat.

The water was almost crystal clear. No wind to start and the lake was like a mirror.
We fished the lily pads across from the launch for 3 hours. Then the wind started.

We went with the intention to fly fish, but wound up spin fishing. We used roadrunners with grub tails, lizards, power worms & the like. We saw carp several times, but nothing else. When the wind picked up it made it too difficult to fish without an anchor so we left.
