What is this?
Join us for a weekend at Kelsey Lake where fly rod caught bass in the 3 to 5 pound class are common. (The current record is 16 pounds 12 ounces caught in January of 2014!) Since we have permission to camp lakeside, you can indulge in catch and release fishing from as early as you want to as late as you want. If we have twelve anglers in our group, we will pretty much have exclusive access to the 125 acre lake for the weekend.
The Basics
WHO:
We have room for eighteen (18) anglers. Non-members are welcome. Larry Carroll is the host
for this outing. For more info
email Larry at WildernessFlyFishers@gmail.com
.
WHAT:
Kelsey is 125 acre isolated, private lake filled with trophy size Florida Largemouth Bass.
Catch & release fishing only.
The lake is perfect for float tubing, wading or shore fishing as demonstrated by Ken Hanley
on Excellent Adventures
Kelsey page.
Check out the Kelsey article in the
June 2013 Mending The Line
for a good description of this outing.
WHEN:
April 24 - 27 (Most people arrive Friday afternoon, depart Sunday afternoon or Monday morning after fishing Saturday & Sunday. For extra fishing days; i.e., Friday and/or Monday see below.)
WHERE:
Near Snelling, CA. About 20 miles east of Merced. Set your GPS for 7400 Merced Falls Road, Snelling, CA 95369. It will take you to the ranch entrance. (It is about a five hour drive from LA.)
CAMP:
We have permission to camp ($25 per night) next to the lake on a lovely park-like peninsula surrounded by prime angling. (Nearest motel = 35 minutes.)
Note there is no potable water. It can be hot, so bring more water than you think you need. Check out the
2011 Kelsey Photo Album
for an idea of what the camping area looks like. (Which is really nice.)
COST:
$210.00 minimum for two days* fishing (Usually Saturday & Sunday).
For an extra $105 per day you can also fish Friday or Monday. For an extra $210 you can fish both Friday
and
Monday. (Note: You can make the decision about the additional days after you arrive.)
Note Change:
Non-fishing companions must now pay $25 per night for camping.
