🎣 California Fish Plants for 09/29/2024 – 10/05/2024

📈 Overview of fish plants in California this week

This week, California is expected to have 4,000 pounds of trout planted across 8 locations. The top county receiving plants this week is Inyo County with 1,500 pounds of trout. With the unannounced plants, last week saw a revised total of 16,600 pounds of trout across 30 locations.

This week, we’re headed to Lone Pine Creek. Here’s our Gearlist for this week.

🔔 Additional California fishing information for this week

End of September means rockfish anglers in California need to be outside the 50-fathom line. This usually requires a boat, as it’s tough for kayak anglers—expect it to switch back to the 20-fathom line in November.
