Stone Lagoon Strike-Out 3-30-2011

Today I fished Stone Lagoon. I'm sure this comes as no surprise
- I caught nothing. I didn't even see any fish. The water was
chocolate colored .. and just plain muddy close to shore. :-\
But it was still a great day. It's so beautiful here in
Humboldt. I put in at the lagoons "information center" off 101
at about 1:30 pm. It was bright & sunny, but I could see the fog
bank just at the shoreline. It seemed like a good idea to stay
close to the place I put in and that turned out to be smart
because a heavy fog came shortly after I got OTW. It was very
foggy and somewhat windy the entire time I was out. I stayed
close to shore on the east side. I can see how easy it would be
to become disoriented. Yes -- I had my compass with me and I
know how to use it but I don't know this water and I was alone,
so I did not venture far afield. I trolled and cast my
kastmasters with the single barbless hooks and got to enter my
first 0 on my steelhead card. :D
There were a few fly fishermen along the bank & I spoke with one
who said the fishing was "pretty good." But I didn't see him
catch anything nor did he have any fish. He claimed the fish
were moving from the breech to the east side of the lagoon and
then heading "up the creek." I have no idea if that's true or
not.
I took two pics, one from my kayak looking to the south end of
the lagoon in the fog and one from my car at the north end of
the lagoon looking south. The breech is on the south end of the
lagoon. Will try to post here.
I stopped at Big Lagoon on my drive up and the water at the boat
ramp is the same chocolate color there. With that in mind, I
think I'm going back to freshwater lagoon tomorrow to finish off
my trip uh here. I have to drive home to LA on Friday -- and I
need to keep an eye on that mud slide at Garberville.
So -- tomorrow, back to freshwater lagoon! ;)

At least you got out on the water....
101 is toast for now and the last I heard from sohum is the
roads are restricted to the locals. Those roads are sketchy at
best anyway.
Thanks for sharing, the Humboldt lagoons are pretty cool!
