For this week's report we had a few catches and some fisherman have some luck that some don't. Weather was nice with decent temperatures and but the bite isn't steady. The water temperature is 75 degrees at the end dock and the clarity's almost clear with a five foot visibility.

Stripers are boiling in the afternoons around the Narrows area and in front of the reeds across from the Marina. They are still biting out at the Dam on Anchovies or using lures. Catfish are still biting on anchovies or you can try stink bait, in the Narrows, South End, Heron Bay or the Dam area. Smallmouth Bass bite is doing decent, Doc Al had nice numbers of them last week catching them on Panther Martins trolling in 20 feet deep water. You can also use lures or drop shotting may give you some luck too. As for Largemouth try the mornings with top waters but there is no specific areas. There was a catfish plant today 9-12 of 500 lbs. and there was a Mt. Lassen trout plant out the Dam yesterday 9-11 of 1,000 lbs. Goodluck to you all!

Stripers are beginning to really boil especially in the afternoons over by the reeds in front of the Marina or wherever the balls...... Read More
