Has anyone fished either Loveland Reservoir or Lake Morena
recently?  Does anyone know if it is even open for fishing?  I
can only fish from a kayak or shore.  Sad to say no boat yet. 
I have never been at these places so directions would be great
too.  I am  heading south on the 15 FWY.

Ive fished loveland res resently fish it all the time its my
home lake I have a few reports posted on the sdfish.com forums
so you can look at them there and you can also get directions
on that site. Just to let you know if you dont wanna read the
reports it is going off i got 5 swimbait fish my last trip
biggest only 4.2 got them on the rago blue gill and a sr7. Got
a dozen other fish.

Morena is open daily, the water is VERY low, only about 9%
full. You can use a kayak there or shore fish. 15 South to 8
east about 40 minutes and you'll see the turnoff on your
right. Loveland is shorefishing only and only within about a 2
mile section. I nave never fished it so I can't tell you how
to get there.

Make sure you tell us how you do.

Basser,

I was thinking of fishing the reservoir this Friday.  I just
had a few more questions.  How long is the hike from the
parking lot to the designated fishing area?  Is there a marker
or sign posted for the fishing grounds?  Any input would be
appreciated.

Its about a half mile maybe a little more. Yes you can tell
there is a big line of bouys going across the lake where
fishing access ends.

Thanks Jimmy.  I'll post results L8R.

Time 7:30am - 12:30pm
Clear sky, no wind in the morning.  Slight west wind from
10:45am till 12:30pm.  Water was cold and murky with 1.5' vis.
 
I started off by throwing reaction baits with no love.  After
reassessing the conditions, I tied on a jig with a mad manns
craw.  I was expecting good things due to the conditions, but
alas no love.  I then tried a yami cut tail working it very
slow and got a 4#.  Moving on to the next spot, I switched to
the other stick with a drop shot rig.  After making a cast, I
took out a little birds nest and worked the 6" Aaron's
magic a few times and I felt a little tick but nothing.  I
slowly worked the worm one more time and she came back to
finish it off.  Another 4#.  Looked like a duplicate of the
first.  I tried several other spots for nothing and saw some
bait being pushed to the surface up ahead.  I quickly moved
over and threw a cut tail and was rewarded with a plump little
2#.  The pattern is slow, very slow.  All three fish were
caught outside tulle patches.  Just as Basser said they
would.  I can only imagine what this place is like in the pre
to post spawn.  I'll be back.

Thanx for all your help guys.
