Fished Canyon with Luc on Sunday after only getting two hours of sleep the night before. I was in LA for my cousin's wedding and didn't get home until close to midnight. I set the alarm for 3:50am so I could met Luc at his house at 5. He let me know the day prior the fishing had finally come back and he and John managed 20 or so all on top. So I couldn't refuse. Fishing was slow but early on I had a huge blowup on a new fly I was testing. I think the fish missed my fly completely. Luc managed a handful of dinks throughout the day. Towards the end of the day I switched to a Iwai minnow and had a few dinks flow. Manged to get on that was only twice the size of the fly. Luc had me fish his rod for a spell and managed to get another only slightly bigger bass, probably in the pound or under range. Luc confided in me and said he was kind of hoping I'd have texted him at midnight to tell him I was too wiped to make it. Maybe that's what I should have done.
