The trout fishing is the best of the year. Cactus Patch, Eagle Point and
Shadow Cove produced limits. Trolling has been poor but chucking silver
Kastmasters in those spots have also been productive. The bass are
definitely staging. A few are in shallow looking but not on nests.
The majority of fish are being caught in 15’ to 25’ of water. Dropshoting and throwing Ikas. Greens, browns and morning dawn all have been effective colors. An interesting pattern showed for the cats earlier than normal. Bass anglers fishing the brush tight to the bank nailed some nice channel catfish.
Best Trout Spots: Cactus patch, Half Moon Cove and Sentry Points.
Best Trout Lures / Bait: salmon peach Power Bait.
Best Cat Spots: The dam buoyline.
Best Cat Bait: mackerel or nightcrawlers in the brush. Use scent liberally.
Best Bass Spots: The launch ramp.
Best Bass Lures /bait: crawdads, Ikas and
Water Temp. 61 degrees on surface.

Prognosis: We will stock a 1000lb. load of Mt. Lassen‘s great trout this Tues.. March is typically the best month of the year for fishing. The March madness of fishing is a lot more fun than the basketball version. Don’t miss it….. And yes we will be at the Fred Hall Show at Del Mar.
