Can Winter Time "Troutin" Get Any Better? We have been fishing under almost "spring like" weather conditions with cool mornings, pleasant afternoons and Hot action on Lake Almanor's trophy trout. I have been concentrating my efforts along the east shore from the dam to Lake Cove working fish that are eager to feed on the lake's Pond Smelt. This time of year it is common to find balls of these bait fish "corralled" up along the east shore, usually pushed there by hungry fish and feeding birds. The water temps have been running from the mid to upper 30 degree range, and at these temps the Pond Smelt are one of the few food sources available to the fish, luckily there are plenty of them. Judging by the distended bellies and the incredibly intense battles these "footballs" are offering, I would say they are getting plenty to eat. The fish we have been landing are mostly Bows with a few Browns and have been running 2 to 2.5 lbs with several kickers in the 3 to 4 pound range each day. We have found the best action during the first few hours of the morning with the bite tapering off a little as the day goes on. Some mornings double and even triple hook-ups have been quite a common occurrence. These fish are strictly focused on the Pond Smelt so in most cases it is best to try and "Match the Hatch" with lures featuring silver and white as well as some black and silver; that said, the Pond Smelt pattern Tube Fly from Arctic Fox is always a solid choice. I fish these trolling flies a lot this time of year, and in addition to the Pond Smelt pattern the Orange has also been hooking its fair amount of fish. The other rig that has been producing consistent action is a drop-shot soft plastic minnow. I was introduced to these by a friend nearly 20 years ago while fishing Butt Lake. They did a great job of imitating the Pond Smelt and continue to do so to this day. With the addition of the action discs to the trolling arsenal, these soft plastics have gotten even better. All of the above mentioned lures offer little or no action on their own when trolled off the downriggers or outriggers so the action disc is mandatory to get these rigs to dance. The disc also provides a great place to apply Pro-Cure's Trophy Trout Scent. I have been covering the water column from the surface to 12 feet down with the best bite starting shallow and progressing deeper as the day moves along. With the long range forecast predicting more mild weather the Hot Winter Bite should continue.

A big thank you to all of you that stopped by the booth at the Sacramento ISE Show last week. It was good to see all my old friends and make some new ones, I look forward to seeing you on the water.

Well 2011 came in like a lion but is sure leaving like a lamb. Here in Northeastern California we have had almost no rain or snow to speak of, but it looks like a white Christmas if you count the frost covering from overnight temps in the teens and 20's. I'm looking forward to a little down time and spending the holidays with family and friends. I will be kicking off 2012 with the Sacramento International Sportsmen's Expo at Cal Expo from January 19th to the 22nd. Please stop by and see us in booth number 3434 in the Sportfishing Hall. If you still haven't got your hands on one of the Grundens Heavy Duty Hoodies, I will have them in the booth. These are the best hoodies you will ever own. Following the ISE show it will be back on the water at Lake Almanor for some great winter trout fishing, followed by spring Trophy Mackinaw at Bucks Lake in May and of course the fall bite at Eagle Lake in October and November. I look forward to seeing all my friends and clients at the show and on the water in 2012. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

That's a wrap!!! Eagle Lake 2011 is in the books. We left the fish on the bite, my final trips of this season found good action on fish in both the middle and south basins. Orange grubs were the hot bait and 7 feet was the key depth. The last few days were spent beating up the fish found on the south east side of the middle basin, north of the Youth Camp. There were plenty of fish in there to keep the rods bent. Last week I did venture down to the south end of the lake to fish, in an effort to get some relief from the big south wind. The results were well worth the trip, as we managed fish from Gallitin to Wildcat and just about everywhere in between. As I mentioned before orange grubs were the only baits we ran scented with Pro-Cure's Freshwater Shrimp Oil. Several small storm fronts in the last week have done a great job at keeping the water from freezing over, last year at this time there was 4 inches of ice in the Spaulding Marina. As long as we don't get a big blast of cold air from the north the waters should remain open and the fish on the bite. I'm looking forward to what I hope will be a good wet winter and another increase in Eagle's water level, every little bit helps.

I will be running a few trips on Almanor over the course of December and January, weather permitting. If you are interested contact me for availability.

The Eagle Lake Trout are finally settling in to a typical fall pattern, or are they? Well on recent trips I have been fishing all over the lake, and usually never the same place twice, in an effort to stay on top of the moving fish. I have fished both the east and west shores of the south basin as well as the areas in the middle basin for some pretty solid days. I really hadn't fished up north due to a huge amount of grass on the surface that made trolling all but impossible. When you get a number of windless days, like we had last week, the grass patties can get pretty dense and choke out areas. I knew there were fish up there, and good quality ones at that, we just couldn't get at them, that is until some wind returned and cleaned the surface up. Sure enough mid week we started picking up some east and south east wind that pushed all the grass out of the north narrows and the fishing was ON!! The morning bite has been the best, tapering off as the day goes along. I had been fishing mostly watermelon grubs down south but up north it is all and orange thing. The 2 inch variety have been my best producers all though I have caught a few on the 3 inch size. I have been coating the baits with both Trophy Trout Gel as well as Freshwater Shrimp Oil both from Pro-Cure. Early in the week most of the limit fish were full of Tui Chubs but in the last few days they have been stuffed exclusively with shrimp. I have been running the gear a long way behind the boat as the conditions up north are shallow and clear, it is not uncommon to spot cruising fish in front or along side the boat once the sun has hit the surface of the lake. The water depth up in the north runs from 0 to about 7 feet and while the 3 and 4 foot water will kick out a fish or two in the early morning the 7 foot range is where we have been having our best success, fishing 5 feet down. The fish have been running from the high 2's to the high 3 pound range with a few bumping up to the 4 pound mark which for this year are great fish. The weather has been cooperating with a few chilly mornings but the days have been warm under mostly sunny skies, all in all some pretty outstanding fall fishing.

If you would like to get in on some of this great fall trout fishing I still have some dates available between now and Thanksgiving, don't miss your chance. Call or Email me today.

The Eagle Lake bite continues to improve. I have continued to fish the east side of the middle basin with the action being very good in the early morning and slacking off just a bit as the day goes on. The best baits for us continue to be the 2 inch watermelon grubs. I have made several moves up into the north end with good results. There finally seems to be a fair number of fish up there and they haven't been shy about slamming the rigs. Up north orange 2 and 3 inch grubs seem to be getting the most attention. On Fridays trip we pulled in up north for a change of scenery about 11am and found a great bite with all the fish being quality, including a 22 inch 4 pound beauty that was our final fish of the day. What a way to wrap things up! It is not to late to get in on some of this exciting fall fishing, there are still dates available between now and Thanksgiving.  Stay tuned there is sure to be more hot action to come.

Today was lights out fishing, four limits of solid keepers by 9:30am! The fishing has been a little up and down as the wind seems to have the lake and the fish stirred up. The predominate wind direction has been out of the south, luckily there have been some nice fish holding along the south edges of the lake allowing us to fish the protected waters. Good numbers of fish continue to move north as we progress into fall but the bite in the northern basins is still a little soft. Our best producing rigs have been 2 inch watermelon grubs topped with Pro-Cures Trophy Trout Gel and run from 3 to 5 feet down on the Cannon Downriggers. Most of the fish are running in the 2.5 to 3.5 pound class with some fish landing just short of the 4 pound mark. Look for things to only get better as we move deeper into fall. If you haven't already books a trip and want to get in on some of this exciting fishing on one of our light tackle trolling trips or a fly fishing adventure, contact me soon. There are still dates available between now and Thanksgiving.

We were back out after trout over the weekend The cloudy cooler temperatures last week have lowered the surface temp of the lake by 2 degrees, now starting out at 68 in the mornings and hitting 70 when the sun stays on the water for a while. We found the best action in the Bucks Creek arm of the lake and near Right and Left Hand Creek, kicking out a mix of Browns and Bows with a few of the lake's larger Kokanee mixed in. While some of the Kokes were fairly clean and bright several other males were heavily colored up indicating a move up the creek to spawn is not far off. I worked the edges of the old channels in the 35 to 45 foot range keeping the gear with in 5 feet of the bottom. Top producer were the UV Cripplure and the frog colored Needlefish, we also landed fish on watermelon and fire tiger colored spoons. The trout were running up to 15 inches with a few nice kickers in the 18 to 20 inch range. I purposely stayed out of the Mill Creek area as it is loaded with 8 to 12 inch Brookies. No doubt there are some nicer Browns and Bows in Mill but the mass of small Brookies are so aggressive it is hard to get your baits to them, that said it is a great place to take kids for some off the charts action to keep their interest peaked. They will hit just about anything trolled in the 25 foot range or bait fished just off the bottom.

Only a couple weeks left in my Bucks Lake Season for 2011, at the first of October it is off to Eagle Lake for the Fall Action!!! Dates are still available in October and November at Eagle please contact me for availability and to set up you personal fishing adventure.

Is summer really over?? You sure cant tell by the weather or the conditions at Bucks Lake. We hit the water over the long weekend in search of Kokanee at Bucks. The bite for these fish has been very up and down this summer, so much so, I really haven't run to many trips for them opting instead to take advantage of the great summer trout bite. The trout trips have been producing 20 to 30 fish each morning with the bag being a mix of Bows, Browns and Brookies and an occasional Kokanee. This weekend was all about the Kokanee. We hit the water and dropped our gear over what is the old Bucks Creek channel and headed east. I started with a couple of different offerings running 21 to 26 feet down. That's right I said 21 to 26 feet what other lake around has Kokanee action that close to the surface this time of year. The two rigs that proved to be best are some old stand-bys. The Uncle Larry's Tropical Tiger (Aka The Spumoni Pony) behind a watermelon Wild Thing Dodger and a pink Wiggle Hoochie behind a silver UV Sling Blade. As always the hooks were tipped with Pro Cure scented corn. The action in the morning wasn't red hot but diffidently solid. We continued to work the Bucks Creek Arm keeping the bigger fish in the 14 and 15 inch range and releasing the smaller ones. (We also released a number of the bigger fish at the back of the boat prior to getting them into the net) With the sun on the water the bite seemed move a bit deeper in the 30 to 35 foot range. By 9:30 am we had the two limits on board  and it was time to fillet. The fish were in great shape with showing little or no signs of the upcoming fall spawn.

I will be running trips at Bucks Lake for the rest of the month before moving the Boat to Eagle Lake for the fall action. I still have some open dates in September at Bucks Lake for combo trout or Kokanee trips. If you are interested in a Eagle Lake trip during the months of October and November please contact me as soon as possible as the dates are starting to fill.

It is hard to believe we are looking at early June with as much snow as there is around the shores of Bucks. Access to the lake provided thanks to the Plumas County Road Department was just about on schedule with the road being cleared by Mothers Day weekend. The ramp at Lakeshore Resort was knocked open and we were ready to go, but the lake wasn't. Most of the water on the lake was clear and free of ice, however the Bucks Creek arm of the lake including the area of Lakeshore's ramp and marina were still blanketed with a stubborn sheet of ice and snow. I took nearly a week for that ice flow to clear and the season was on. Right out of the gate we were landing some nice Mackinaw up to the 18 pound range. Steve Graham of Sacramento took a commanding lead of the 2011 Big Mack Challenge with a 22 pound 9 ounce fish that put up a spectacular battle. Several fish in the days that followed looked as if they might push that mark but fell just short. Another week went by and the pounds of Mackinaw caught and released continued to grow when Hanns Balkowitsch of Roseville locked on to what would turn out to be the new and current leaded of the 2011 Big Mack Challenge a 25 pound 11 ounce 44 inch Monster! In non Mackinaw related news the bite for Browns and Bows is going off in a big way. On most of the trips the focus has been for the big Macks but occasionally I will also run what I call the "Meat Rod" which is just a light rod rigged usually in the top 12 feet for a mix of Browns, Bows and Kokanee. The "Meat Rod" will usually provide a little action to pass the time in between the big fish hook-ups not exactly a concentrated effort to catch the other species of the lake. I have run several trips in the last few days where the lake's trout population was our target and we found hot action and bows and browns to 18 inches with a few 3 to 4 pound Mackinaw in the mix as well. When I say the action was hot I mean double and triple hook-ups and 30 plus fish days. We did manage to catch fish on a variety of tackle including Needlefish, and DicNites but the best producing rigs were Cripplures in silver UV and gold and orange covered in Pro-Cure and fished 12 to 20 feet off the Cannon Downriggers. The most productive areas were in the Bucks and Mill Creek Arms. I will work on getting some pictures up soon.

Lake Almanor continues her swing into full spring mode. The shallow bite for the lake's Browns has continued to be solid for fish into the 5 pound range. My best producing baits continue to be the Trophy Sticks covered in Trophy Trout Gel from Pro-Cure. The Smallies have begun to hit the shallows in good numbers witch can be a bit of a problem when your target is the Browns, they do put up a great fight especially the larger females in the 4 to 5 pound range. There have been a few days when the Smallmouth action is so good I have had to move out to the open water and get back on the Downriggers to get away from them. We have been picking up a solid 50/50 mix of Browns and Bows with a few of the King Salmon showing near the dam from 10 to 16 feet. Pearl Bikini Needlefish have been one of the top producers. With the Salmon in the area I also rigged up a couple of traditional Salmon set-ups that include a silver UV Sling Blade followed by a Tanzanite hoochie both from Shasta Tackle. A friend of mine turned me on to that particular color hoochie saying it was one of his best salmon slayers at many other lakes that hold populations of the silver rockets. I put these rigs down at 16 feet on the Cannons and it didn't take long for the rods to light up, turns out Browns like the salmon gear as well. Look for the action to continue to improve as the warmer weather puts the metabolism of these fish into high gear. 

The Brown Bite Continues!! More Browns are beginning to move in to areas along the east shore following the Pond Smelt. On recent trips we have seen pretty solid numbers of Browns, some days having to cover more water than on others, but the fish are there. Many of the fish I have cleaned are loaded with good sized smelt. Several things are starting to line up that should pick this bite up even more. Hamilton Branch is now kicking out much less of the muddy water as in weeks past, and the clarity in many of the areas that were affected is starting to improve. The water temps are now starting in the low to mid 40's depending on location and getting as high as 50 if the conditions are right. Conditions are prime to support a great spring bite. This week my best producers have been the Trophy Sticks, of course covered in Pro-Cure's Trophy Trout Gel. These rigs hit fish in the 2 to 5 pound range. The parking issues at Canyon Dam have been solved by the county doing a great job of opening the second parking lot.

It is Game On!! at Lake Almanor. How fast things can change with a break in the storms and a little sun. A week ago the fish were in a solid winter pattern  and now the weather has them acting like spring. The open water bite near the dam and up the east shore that had been very good has dwindled over the week with only a few fish still being caught on smelt pattern imitations fished in the top 10 feet. When the water starts to warm I get excited to get in the shallows and chase Browns and that what we have been doing. There have been some rumors out there that the east shore is un-fishable due to murky water pumping out of the Hamilton Branch Power House, while the water is flowing out very stained most of the east shore is still very fishable. How do I know?? Because we have been hooking fish!! I have spent my time working rocky points along the east shore with Trophy Sticks and Rapalas finding mostly Brows with a few Bows in the mix. The fish have been running 2 to 5.5 pounds so far but each year we hook into the lake's larger fish doing this. It is only a matter of time. I have been lubing up the lures with Pro-Cure's Trophy Trout Gel. The water temps have been starting out in the high 30's and topping out in the mid 40's under mostly sunny skies and flat water conditions. Look for this bite to only get better as we move further into spring. The Canyon Dam Boat Ramp is in good shape with only one side currently open but it will not be long till the other side melts open as well. Parking can still be a bit of an issue as the side parking lot is still packed with snow and un-useable. Please use common sense when parking, be sure not to block anyone in or block access in or out of the parking lot.

The winter trout bite at Lake Almanor continues to be pretty solid........... when you can get to the lake! Last weeks storms had cleared we were back on the water catching fish and them BOOOOOM!!! Things really blew up weather wise with fierce storms bringing high winds and more snow to the Almanor basin which is more accurately measured in feet not inches. With winds gusting over 40 mph, and access to the lake being blocked by snow, I was forced to re-schedule a couple of trips. Prior to the storms we were on a solid bite along the east shore as in weeks past. The hot rig was again the Arctic Fox Pond Smelt Tube Fly run at of near the surface. For more details please read last weeks report. With an eye to the weather, I hope to be back out on the lake soon hooking up clients with nice fish.

The wild winter weather continues!! The trout bite at Almanor continues as well!! Now with the sport shows behind me, I can turn my full attention to fishing. By the way to all of you who stopped by the booth at the Sacramento ISE show and the Nor-Cal Boat, Sport and RV show in Anderson, Thank You! It was great to see many of my old friends and make quite a few new ones. Despite the up and down weather pattern we have been in the fishing at Lake Almanor has been solid. While on the water during recent trips my groups have consistently been hooking more than 20 fish each day, landing most of them.  "You fish in the rain and snow?" You bet, top up heater on lets go fishing. Now even though my 23 foot Boulton can be pretty comfortable in the cab you will still want to be prepared and dress for the conditions, layers are best. Most people don't even notice the weather when they are on the back deck hooked up with a nice fish. In fact some of my best days at Almanor have been under rain and snow conditions. The east shore has been the hot ticket for us, from the dam all the way up. I have been targeting fish in the top 10 feet of water that are actively feeding on the lakes Pond Smelt. Most of our catch has been made up of Bows averaging 2 pounds with a few smaller and larger fish in the mix. We are usually seeing multiple fish in the 3 pound class each day and even a few up to 5 pounds. Those are some beautiful fish. Like I said we will have rain and snow one day and a sunny spring like day the next. On those sunny days I have also been venturing into the lake's shallow sections hunting the spring time Browns, and getting 4 to 6 each trip for about a hour of fishing. Certainly not the red hot Brown bite I'm usually on this time of year but it is showing signs of improvement, and with some warmer weather and water it will be going off soon. Our top producers on the Browns have been Trophy Sticks in the Tasty Tui pattern and black and silver Rapalas. Now for the details; the hot producers have been the Pond Smelt pattern Arctic Fox Tube Fly and minnow imitation soft plastics. I'm rigging both of these with an action disc and running them down from the surface to 10 feet on the Cannon Downriggers or out to the sides on the planer boards. ***Inside Tip*** The planer boards have been getting more than half our fish>=))))'> I have been coating the rigs with Pro-Cure's Trophy Trout Gel as scent can play an important role in helping fish locate and grab the bait. The water temp has been starting out in the 38 degree range in the mornings and getting as high as 41 on the days with sun and light winds. More storms are forecast for the next week and I'm planning on being out there putting my clients on fish. Hopefully we will see you on the water.

The top story of the last week has been the weather. Northeastern California was pounded by a winter blast that brought low snow, and a good amount of it. While the snow is welcome, and will improve our water outlook for the rest of the year it brought with it some challenges. Road conditions were poor at best with most major routes requiring chains on just about everything. Access to Lake Almanor was spotty. The county did have the facility at Canyon Dam open at times but heavy snowfall made it tough. The calm after the storm will help crews get things a little more back to normal. The winter bite was going strong before the storm and should resume now that things are settling down.

This year I will again be attending the Nor-Cal Boat, Sport and RV Show held at the Shasta District Fairgrounds in Anderson California. The show will run March 4th,5th and 6th. Look for Big Daddy's Guide Service in booth number 14 in the Shasta Hall. There will be pictures and video from 2010 trips as well as some fresh ones from the last month at Almanor. In addition to "Show Special" discounts on fishing trips I will also have another round of the extremely popular Grundens Hoodies. These heavy duty sweatshirts are the best you will ever own. Stop by the booth and say hi.

The spring like weather has continued and provided with pleasant conditions for February fishing on Lake Almanor, but big changes are on the way. A storm front is set to move in and shake things up a bit, bringing much needed rain and snow to the mountains. The winter bite has held steady and the fish continue to bite. I have been concentrating on a mix of Browns and Bows to about 3 pounds with a few larger fish in the mix along the east shore. The fish are healthy and fat, spitting up pond smelt as we land them. I have been running a variety of rigs that imitate these bait fish, today the best producer was an Uncle Larry's Spinner in the "Mad Cow" pattern with a black and white grub "pony tailed" on the hook. This set up caught more than half of our fish. A pearl trolling spoon was the second best bait. We landed fish from the surface to 15 feet over 20 to 50 feet of water off the Cannon Downriggers, with the hottest depth being in the 12 to 15 foot range. Sometimes it is hard to convince yourself to fish deeper when you have fish tailing all over the surface, and while we did catch some shallow, by far our deeper sets were getting the most action. The water temp was running 38 when we launched and had warmed a couple of degrees with the bright sun by late morning. Once this upcoming storm moves out look for the fishing to get right back on track with this typical winter pattern.

This year I will again be attending the Nor-Cal Boat, Sport and RV Show held at the Shasta District Fairgrounds in Anderson California. The show will run March 4th,5th and 6th. Look for Big Daddy's Guide Service in booth number 14 in the Shasta Hall. There will be pictures and video from 2010 trips as well as some fresh ones from the last month at Almanor. In addition to "Show Special" discounts on fishing trips I will also have another round of the extremely popular Grundens Hoodies. These heavy duty sweatshirts are the best you will ever own. Stop by the booth and say hi.

And the winter bite continues..... You might be fooled into thinking it is spring judging by the weather, cool sometimes foggy mornings give way to beautiful afternoons. The fish at the lake have been sticking to their winter patterns with a solid morning bite along the east shore at a variety of locations with the action slowing as the day moves on. We have been catching fish from the surface to 20 feet and just about everywhere in between off the Cannon Downriggers. My best producing rigs have be things that imitate the smelt in the lake. Spoons in white or black and white patterns, the Arctic Fox tube flies in Pond Smelt, and soft plastics behind action discs are the regular weapons. I like to run these rigs with out the use of flashers or dodgers to enhance the fight once hooked up. The fish have been a mix of Browns and a few Bows around 2 pounds with a few larger ones showing. The water temp has been running in the high 30's in the morning with 41 being the warmest we saw all day under flat and sunny conditions. Look for this winter pattern to continue as we move through the month, as we will get back to a little more normal weather conditions. Hopefully we have plenty more rain and snow to come as many of the area lakes can use the additional boost.

Thanks to all of you who came out to the Sacramento ISE show and stopped by the booth. It was good to see many old friends and meet quite a few new ones. I look forward to fishing with you in the future.

It is hard to believe the new year is already here, 2010 seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. Last season produced some outstanding fishing here in Northeastern California. winter and spring at Almanor was on fire with some exceptional Brown fishing as well as a fantastic Salmon bite. Bucks Lake, again, gave up another year of record catch rates of Trophy Mackinaw with over 640 pounds caught by my clients. Congratulations to Josh Daries who won The Big Mack Challenge and collected the cash with his 25 pound 6oz. Mack. The Kokanee bite was also solid through the summer producing crazy bites of the biggest Kokanee seen at Bucks in some time. The Kokanee were running a solid 14 to 16 inches and girthy. Then it was on the Eagle Lake. Despite all the negative rumors about the water level the fish were still on the bite. While the water was down (I'm certainly doing my share of rain and snow dances) launching really wasn't a problem even for my big I/O Boulton. The trolling trips provided solid action and the fly fishing trips were some of the best. Looking to the new year, we are already getting good amounts of much needed rain and snow. Almanor is in great shape with plenty of water and is primed to give up another great season. Bucks is on tap for more Trophy Mack action as soon as I can get a boat in, and there is no telling how big the Kokanee will be this year. Eagle has been getting hit by some of these storms as well, and can use all the help it can get as far as water goes. I'm optimistic we will be busting some nice ELT this year.
