Lake Almanor - CA

An action shot of cohort Kevin Ogg...boating, catching, netting...

The birds are your guide. Once you locate a group of birds, don’t motor in hot, rather ease in and scout the area for baitfish. The trout shouldn't be very far away.

I got lucky with big fish, a 7.2 pound brown...fooled by a Rapala jig made for hard water (ice) fishing. Don't scoff at jigging.

Eric, showing off yet another bona fide trout.

Views north to Mt. Lassen.

Another quality Almanor trout fooled by jigging.

Cohort Eric Bettencourt had a good day, landing trout of 5.1, 5.4, and 5.6 pounds. Eric and Kevin caught many smaller trout but Eric certainly drew lucky spot on the boat.

Get some!
