Pastorius Reservoir Report

I'd kind of written Pastorius off as unfishable a while ago. The weeds grow so fast and thick in there that shore fishing is impossible except in a few select spots. I thought the lake would be much lower, or I would have brought the boat. We did a lap around the lake to look for deep water and found a few holes and pulled out a few smaller stockers, but they seemed to be in good shape, fins and all. Nothing really exciting, just a nice afternoon jaunt. If you have a way to float, I'd say the fishing is probably stellar right now out in the lake. Keep your eyes out for duck and goose hunters who will be out there until January. In the picture below you can see the Vallecito fire in the background.
