My 11YO son and I fished Yates Mar 21 and ½ Mar 22.  Had good weather with medium wind, lake is full to rim. Water is 4-5 ft vis with 61-65 deg. 

No big girls, but got 2 @ 4.5, 4 @ 3-3.5, released, then 15 @ 13-14" cull keepers. Also caught endless hand-sized+ bluegills on flies from dock. 

Sam caught more than half of the LMB and all bluegills as I dealt with the trolling motor and wind. We were catching LMB on weightless senkos near shore, and jerk baits in the middle.  Big shad blowups/chases mid-lake on both days.  Very nice property with lovely owners.  Excellent lodging with nice covered fish cleaning bench. I highly recommend lodging here.

Note: those traveling from DFW, I recommend NOT taking HWY 840 S out of Henderson per instructions.  The highway is being rebuilt (10 miles) and is soft with wet cement that will coat your vehicle and boat and is very difficult to remove.  Instead take 259 South out of Henderson, go south about 12 miles, exit onto FM 1798 east toward Minden.  Follow 1798 all the way to 840 and turn right to miss the construction. This leads you to 315 where the normal directions resume.
