Loch Lomond Fishing



Back in early September we went fishing at Loch Lomond in Lompico. It's not far from us, just about 35 minutes away. Loch Lomond is a reservoir fed by Lompico Creek. It's stocked with bass, trout and other good eating fish. We went there to fish and caught a couple that were just too little to keep. Chris was the rower and we were the passengers - they have electric motor boats for rent there too, but it was a really crowded day on the loch and we ended up with a row boat. I believe you can rent kayaks and canoes also. If you're in the Santa Cruz area it is definitely worth a trip for bird watching, fishing between March and September and what look like great hiking trails. Since we've moved west one of the things I miss most about New England is the ponds and lakes. You can't swim in this one, but it is a peaceful lovely place to float around that made me feel right at home.




 


this was truly a challenge to row through.

this blue heron flew over us as we were rowing around.

I think this is a crane, at first i thought egret, but it has a yellow/orange beak.

same blue heron.
