We hope that you had a great New Years, and ready for another great year of Fishing. Please don’t forget to get your new fishing license for this year.

Water Temperature is still holding at 49 degrees this week. We did have two fish plants this week. We got 500lbs of Mount Lassen and 2500lbs from DFG. Trout Fishing continues to improve with reports of limits being caught at the south end all the way to the dam, from boats and shore. Power bait, mice tails, Power eggs, and Night crawlers have been working if you like using bait. If use like using lures, Kastmasters, Panther Martins and Rapalas have been working as well.

Stripers have gone to deeper water. If you can locate them try jigging spoons,chatterbaits or large kastmasters.

Catfish have been quiet but we expect them to be on the prowl after the rains that we have had.

Large mouth Bass and small mouth Bass have also gone to deeper water. They are being illusive but can still be caught drop shotting.
