Got me a ticket to fish Barrett Lake for Sunday May 27, so at 1:30am, off we went to get there before the 5am gate opening time. A few Red Bulls later, we were on the lake.
The lake is almost at full pool and is very different from years past, when it was around -75 feet below full.
We figured out that the larger fish were in deeper water and started to target them instead of opting for the fly-lined senko route for many smaller fish.
Got a nice one fairly early on (and never take a photo with friends standing behing you)
Eric was up next, hooked to a nicer grade model, on 6lb Power Pro

A steady pick on 3-4lb fish continued throughout the day
We fished until about 6:45pm with the last 2 hours being very productive on crankbaits, jigs and spinnerbaits for the typical 1-2lb Barret Lake bass.
The bass and lake are looking really healthy!!
2 more Red Bulls before the return drive and home by 10:30pm!
Another nice day on the lake
