PLEASANT VALLEY RESERVOIR has been off and on but should be improving greatly as the spring stocking from both the DFG and Alpers programs kick into gear.?? The inlet section has been good most days with some very good browns being fooled by the dry/dropper combo rig with a Stimulator as the indicator and tiger midge as the nymph.?? The rez level is fluctuating erratically due to major work being performed at the powerhouse.?? This will influence the "catching" in the inlet section and transition area which is historically excellent this time of year.

GUIDE TIP: If you are not into a cross between a Raider football fan tailgate party and the 405 Fwy at rush hour, I suggest you avoid this area
the weekend of 3-17.?? There is a trout "derby" scheduled here that weekend.

One of the great thrills of my job as a guide is to see a young client of mine mature into an excellent fly fisher and super young man.?? I have known and guided Jack "Jacko" Scanlon from Camarillo, CA since he was five years old.?? He is now thirteen and has become an absolute joy to fish with.?? Check out Jacko's gigantic smile and gorgeous PV brown!
