Alright trout fishing fin addicts it's late spring at Almanor, bugs are popping and fish are biting. In recent weeks we have been fishing all over the lake but the bulk of our action has come north of the tip of the peninsula. It has been a combination of fast hardware and slow fished crawlers, from the surface to 20 feet, that have been consistently putting fish in the boat. Some days one technique has worked all day and other days we have been splitting our time starting out fast then working slow later in the morning. There are plenty of fish out there but at the same time there is more than enough food to keep them happy. The fish, mostly big thick stout Rainbows to 6 pounds, a few Browns to 5 pounds, King Salmon running 17 to 20 inches and even a monster Sacramento Perch (see the picture below) are currently stuffing themselves with all the aquatic bugs they can eat. It may take a few passes over fish before they hook up but being persistent has been key to our success. The combination of fish moving around as the hatches come off coupled with this current unstable weather can have the bite a little up and down, but overall it has been pretty solid and looks to continue. The are only a few open days over the course of the next few weeks, if you want to get in on some of this action don't wait, contact us asap to lock down your trip. We also have been venturing to a few other lakes in addition to Almanor in recent weeks and have found some fantastic action. Stay tuned for more trophy trout action and future reports coming soon. Also, lets take a moment this weekend, while out enjoying the fishing, camping and spending time with family and friends, to remember all those who served and sacrificed. Tight Lines!

I'm going to get to try my hand for a couple of hours, mid June, off the shore near Big Springs Cove. I haven't fished in years and have never been to Lake Almanor before. Any tips and tricks for shore fishing for trout in that area? (Was thinking rooster tails and Mepps lures)

Look at the back of the cove where the spring actually comes in. That area can and does hold fish within casting range. In addition to casting hardware at them you may want to consider bait like crawlers or meal worms suspended under a float. Good luck and thanks for being a regular viewer 6/17/2018 12:19:20 am
Lakes are for fishing. Really? Is that the only use of a lake? That I am not sure. I have seen the country's smallest lake and I don't think it's alright to go fishing there. I am sure that even if it's very small, it is so deep that if you throw something like a stone, it will end up in another lake miles away! Interesting right? Me, I think it's scary. We all know what's going on inside these lakes. It's lake a large cave underneath and I repeat, it's scary. You don't want to go fishing in the middle of that if I were you. If you do, make sure you are stepping on land. Leave a Reply. |
