Awesome trip!
Is this prime time for that area as far as weather goes?

I would say now through the end of April would be prime time, weather and fishing. You find the small mouth in the river and the large mouth in the lakes and some along the bamboo in the river. Taylor Lake is 3-4 feet through out, not much water flow through so it was the warmest we found at 62. No top water only fish crashing were those damn carp belly flopping. Next I'd like to fish to area near Blythe.

Thanks for the great report and photos. When you're used to our big bays and open ocean that tight water paddling feels strange, fun though. Did you find some bass in those narrow channels or in the open water lakes? Mike

tight to structure in the lakes and river,the cuts held fish too as they were deeper 5-8 foot channels with current running through them.
