The stormy weather has finally passed us, although our mornings are still pretty cold with temperatures ranging from about 40 to 50 degrees in the am to around 70 in the afternoon. Wind has been only around 5 mph. We got a plant of Mt Lassen trout, 1000 lbs on Wednesday the 23rd. Fishing has picked up dramatically with many anglers catching limits.

Trout are hitting from the south end all the way to the Dam. Most anglers are catching them on either Power Eggs or any Power Bait with a garlic scent. You can also try smaller Jerkbaits, Rapalas, Lucky Craft, or Kastmasters.

Black Bass are thriving due to the recent rise in water levels. Look for fallen trees, weed beds and tulle’s. Wacky rigged Senkos are pulling the bigger ones from 3 to 6 lbs. You can also catch them on plastic crawdads or shallow to mid diving crank baits.

If you do catch a Bass, please carefully release them during this crucial spawning period.

Catfish are still on the prowl with anglers catching them on either Chicken Livers or Night Crawlers. Most of the recent Catfish brought in have been from 5 to 25 lbs.

Stripe Bass are being evasive right now, with a few anglers reporting catches.

The best bet to catch them is Anchovies, Chicken Liver, Sardines or Mackerel. All reports have been from the deep rock walls by the Dam. Cody McGarry.
