Greetings from Lake Cuyamaca: Mt. Lassen will be stocking 1,200 lbs of there finest rainbow trout. The cold front over the weekend has slowed the action down. The reward is cooling water temps will invigorate the trout this coming week. The stocking last week was from Jess Ranch and theses trout were ready to fight right out of truck. Crappie are plentiful, taking tube jigs below a bobber. The shore line action has been good using power bait and inflated night crawlers with boats experiencing the same action with bait. The Bass are up in the shallows for the spawn!!
