We tried out a new fishing spot this weekend-- Lake Camanche, in Ione. We took out an aluminum fishing boat and were able to cover most of the reservoir. Using worms as bait, we were able to catch a few small panfish and bass, but unfortunately we didn't catch anything big enough to keep. It is always a sad day in my eyes when you can't cook fish after a long day of fishing.
Slightly defeated, we went to set up camp. To our dismay, the ground was covered in ants! I mean thousands of ants. Since we didn't catch any fish anyway, we decided to just head home to sleep.
Overall, I was pretty disappointed with Lake Camanche. Sub-par campgrounds and fishing.
