The lake level is up and the resort is open along with the EID day use facility. I fished last week with Renee for 4 hours all around the lake trolling. We picked up a small rainbow and a 17 inch brown trout. The CDFW is scheduled to plant the lake with catchable rainbow trout. I spoke to a couple shore anglers this week and they reported the bite to be slow as well. For more information stop by the Caples Lake Resort.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
