  • Stocking:  Another 1,500 lbs. of trout will added to the lake this week bringing our total stock to 7,000 lbs. of trout this season. Stocking will be biweekly throughout the season to reach a total of 19,000 lbs.
  • What's the catch? Trout were biting in Hermit Cove and Eagle Cove on Friday but seemed to move deeper as the weekend progressed. Mini jigs, Powerbait, and Powerworms were doing the trick. Using natural colored jigs in brown and green is your best bet! The bass bite has slowed, but with a little patience and the right tackle you should be able to entice a bite or two. The best spots for bass this weekend were the southeast part of the lake from Siesta Point to the buoy line. They were biting on Rapala lures and Zoom Tiny Fluke. Catfish were biting in Siesta Cove and the shoreline below the bait shop on nightcrawlers and mackerel.  
  • Limits: Please be aware that there is a limit of 5 trout per person as mandated by the California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife.
  • New Year's Day: The lake will be open on Friday, January 1st, 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
  • MLK Jr. Day: On Monday, January 18th, the lake will be open for fishing and boating from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
