It’s picked up a bit here at Lafayette Reservoir. The water in the lake is still murky. A few regulars are still coming back with limits, others are lucky to get a bite. One angler reported catching and releasing about 20 trout on the south end of the lake from a boat. He said they fished deep—25-30 feet down. The bass are starting to bite. A three-pound bass was landed last week and another angler caught-and-released 20 bass with a crankbait. DFG will plant 1,000 lbs of trout this week and the Mount Lassen hatchery will be back in time for Christmas with a plant of trophy fish.  (925) 284-9669
