    I used to fish Lake Natoma when I was younger and I even caught an 11 lb 4 oz largemouth at Willow Creek back in the mid 80s, at the time I think it was the lake record

    Aaron- I just wanted to say good job! I have watched a lot of fishing videos, most of which are just "hey look at what I caught!" with specific information either omitted or intentionally concealed. Your videos are great, informative, honest, practical, professionally produced, and best of all no endless plugging of sponsors!. Subscribed!
    If you are so inclined, I would love to see a video on targeting smallmouth in the area. Keep up the good work!

      Thanks John! I watched a bunch of videos as well and wanted to be different. Fishing is fun and I want to share what I know with fellow anglers. Unfortunately I don't know how many videos I will be able to do this year. We have a couple of businesses we are trying to get up and running and they are taking a lot of our time. That being said I am going on a guys trip at the end of this month to Clear Lake and the cameras are coming with me…stay tuned..Thanks for watching, the kudos and subscribing.

    I never knew that section was trolling motor only. I had a small boat with a 2.5 hp motor that I been using there. I like fishing the lake during spring time. That's usually the best time they start to hit moving baits and top water. During the winter is super tough.

    • @alesieur1971
      @alesieur1971  Před 3 lety

      Yea. I can only remember seeing that one sign. I haven’t been out at all this year and need to get out there before fall for some top water action. I have never fished it in the winter but would like to get some swimbaits out there.

    I sight fish along the banks with nightcrawlers with moderate success sometimes lunker's as well as lots of bluegills! I've observed the bass and learned they are very spooky and can be tough to fool. In winter they are nowhere near the banks. Also caught a channel cat last summer!

      Bixxel -Aaron Lesieur I've been fishing boat and shore i dont want to give up the spot publicly on here but I know a area that's filled with beds right now (seen some big ones too like 7,8 lbs). It's not even a matter of if I can catch them it's more like witch one do i wanna catch .

    • @tylergarrison3848
      @tylergarrison3848 Před 5 lety +1

      Bixxel -Aaron Lesieur as a matter of fact i was able to squeeze in some shore fishing today and caught 4 nice ones the biggest one being a 5/6pounder . I also stumbled across a cove filled with giant school of carp witch was a cool sight. I think they're bedding right now as well.

  • @alexpulsifer783

    Very nice job Aaron, thorough fishing on a tough lake. The google earth maps are really nice. In looking at Google earth on the Lower lake, north side I see some small ponds isolated from the main lake. I thought these ponds might be a little warmer than the lake and may have some more willing fish. Access walking from Sunset and Main Street. Got to get out of the house! I’ll let you know. I found your channel by googling lake Natoma Fishing. New subscriber now! Thanks!

    • @alesieur1971

    • @BillWardWesternLights
      @BillWardWesternLights Před 4 lety +1

      Aaron, Will do! "I'll be fly fishing and mainly just need to get out. A bass or two would be great but I'll be happy to get into some Bluegill as well. :)

    • @BillWardWesternLights
      @BillWardWesternLights Před 4 lety +1

      Aaron, Got out and enjoyed exploring the area, unfortunately no signs of any fish. Got some nice pictures, beautiful area but very difficult to fly fish from the bank, lots of weeds and vegetation close to the bank out some distance. I saw a serious fisherman in a kayak and watched him work a bank very methodically for 30 minutes with no sign of any strikes or anything. He came from Lake Natoma as I walked all the way down to the bike trail. From there I could see the lake and there is direct access to paddle to that biggest pond where he and I were. I saw no other fisherman. A kayak or small boat of that kind is the only way you can effectively fish it. Oh well nice to get out. I have a youtube channel myself mostly focused on music I play with my band the Western Light and family things. I do an occasional Fly fishing Video and If you do a search for "Northern California Fly Fishing Blues" you will find an original song I wrote centered around fly fishing outings of mine and a group of friends of mine. Best Wishes, and stay safe!

      Bill Ward I remember that area from when I filmed and fished. I also noted that there were no fish back there. Unless there are resident fish I don’t think they have any reason to travel that far off than main body.

    It is a tough lake, I live at the Rollingwood bluffs and fished more than a few times. Caught a 3lber near submerged trees next to dam..otherwise 1lbers next to those shallow spawn beds. Many hours cruising the canoe.
    Shouldn't the carp be removed from the lake?
