The Annual Bakersfield Firefighters Fishing Derby & Pancake Breakfast will take place next weekend on Saturday, February 5th. Both lakes will be stocked with 2500 pounds of Lightening and Rainbow trout. There will be trophy fish over 5 pounds that will be tagged and worth up to $1000. Every entry ticket receives a pancake breakfast and a raffle ticket. There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies for largest fish in 6 different age groups. Tickets are available at Cope’s Tackle & Rod and bakersfieldfirefighters.com. The trout fishing has been excellent here and should remain that way for the remainder of the week with all the fish going in. Trout can be taken with minijigs, Powerbait, pinched crawlers and spinners. Fly anglers scored some quality trout with Kern Candy. The bass bite picked up last week and fish to 3 pounds were reported at the amphitheater lake with jigs and crankbaits.
