Facebook posts have become a sort of fishing journal. This post from August 24th, 2015, shows me that if I go to Lake Cahuilla today, the Carp will likely be feeding on algae. Any green fly should get eaten.
Yesterday, the amurs and commons were feeding on algae so close to shore that their backs were often out of the water. When they're this shallow, they spook really easily. So, I had to stand very still in the shadows of trees and wait for one to come close enough to cast to it. When they're being this selective, you really have to put the fly right in front of they're nose, and when they suck it up, you have about a millisecond to set the hook before they realize it's not algae and spit it out. I also caught some on the bait rod, (semolina dough w/ peanut powder). It was 111°!
