First, I greatly appreciate all the information shared here. I visit the Bend twice a year for a week stay and have done so for several years. I've caught plenty fish simply from advanced scouting using knowledge I've gained here. Stayed there last Fri thru last Wed. Really found the good fish beginning Sat afternoon in the north Sam Miguel area. Was warm Mon and Tue so fish were looking to bed. Beaver style baits and Crawsomes did the most damage. Btwn out 2 boats we had 6 over 4#, a 5#, and a 6# on Mon and half day Tue. If the water was over 63, they were up. If it was cooler like in Slaughter Creek and parts of Lanana, they were staging. Spinnerbaits and crankbaits were best. Can't wait to get back.
