Eagle Lake Fishing Report (Fall Wrap Up)

Eagle Lake Rainbow www.bigdaddyfishing.com
Fall has always been prime time to fish Eagle Lake and 2019 was no exception. This year we saw another nice little bump in the water level thanks to a good showing from last winter, a trend we hope continues. During the fall season at Eagle Lake we offer both fly trolling as well as fly fishing trips, and while the bite was solid from the boat with the trolling flies, the final weeks on out 2019 season were all about "flea flickin" from the shore. This fall brought us an extended period of nice weather, actually not ideal for fishing the shallows in the fall. This fall, "battling the weather", in many cases, meant tricking wary trout into grabbing our offerings under dead flat calm conditions. Mini celebrations would erupt when a chop would come over the surface of the lake. The quality of these fish is really something to see, bright, clean and healthy with beautiful colors and markings and big tails. (See pictures below)
Winter is now here in northeastern California and Eagle Lake has already been receiving some of the precipitation that recent storms have delivered. Good news? Yes, but fingers crossed the lake and surrounding watershed will continue to get rain and snow through out the coming months. The fishing season is still open until December 31, however we are done running trips at Eagle for this season. The dock at the Eagle Lake Marina has been pulled, limiting launching options. That said there may be a secret "fly mission" in the works, stay tuned for details. Want to get in on this exciting action? We are currently taking bookings for Eagle Lake fall 2020 trips, don't miss your chance, book as early as possible to secure your dates. We look forward to seeing you on the water.

Lake Almanor Fishing Report (Fall Fishing Wrap Up)

12/12/2019

It was one heck of a fall here at Lake Almanor, featuring an extended period of pleasant weather and some outstanding fishing. The main players were the lake's famous Trophy Rainbow Trout with a few Browns in the mix as well. Moving out of their summer time haunts, the fish strapped on the feed bags and started chowing down ahead of winter. The aggression level ramped up and these fish were hammering our baits and making spectacular runs as well as some impressive acrobatic skyward leaps during the fights. During the fall, as the water cools and the lake turns over, fish can be found at a variety of depths but the most exciting action was taking place in the top 15 feet of water in areas that were holding feed for the trout including pond smelt, snails, crawdads, leaches as well as some late season aquatic bugs.  
Currently fall has given way to winter and the fish are spread through out the lake again searching for food with pond smelt being the food of choice for most. We will continue to run charters here at Lake Almanor through out the winter as weather allows, taking advantage of the best winter trout bite northeastern California has to offer. If you are interested in a winter trout excursion please get a hold of us to check availability. Speaking of the weather, so far so good, we are off to a pretty good start. Recent storms have dropped rain and snow in the Almanor basin which will all eventually end up in the lake. A good supply of water means happy fish and ensures the future health of the lake. We look forward to seeing you on the water.
