Fish Reports
What's biting across California, newest first.
Closed to fishing on Friday
Last trout plant of the season. Good catches in the 2lb range using minnow pattern jigs.
Lots of catches still happening, marina area is doing best, then boaters, then southern area, but productive across the lake overall with carolina rigs as well as trolling on the lake.
Just dropped the Pro Map on this, check it out and make sure to note all the pro markers.
Spoons doing well, Dancin Fish Baits spoons crushing it, especially in brighter colors.
Half at the dam, half at spillway. 6.9 lber caught near spillway. Launch cove doing well with spoons.
Calaveras Trout 1000 of them are lightnings.
Clean water and heavy plants are producing a high-volume mix of bigger rainbows and lightning trout.
Limited pressure making this pretty good for both lightning trout and trophy bass right now.
Action is fair. Spring bass starting to congregate around sunken structure and tules.
1000 at SS Pond, 1000 at SS Lake
Sly Park Recreation Area (which covers Jenkinson Lake) is reopening.
10+ lber caught near launch cove. Refer to pro maps. Tube jigs working well
Spoons have been productive along weed lines. Try rainbow trout colorways like βThe Donβ by Dancin Fish Baits. Rising water levels have improved the bite for trout, bass, and carp, especially near the Narrows.
Jigs working well. Fish Thug Baits jigs working well in NorCal like Lake Chabot as well, with several 4+ lbers. Big restock and new releases of Fish Thug Baits coming soon. Also, bass are moving into the shallows near the West Shore Trail and weed beds.
Minnow pattern jigs working very well. Aim for markers on Pro Maps page, make sure to alternate spots if it feels slow. Weed lines and docks doing well. Also, fish are holding just beyond the shoreline drop-off, with both bait and lures landing 2-3 pounders.
MADE Baits from SoCal in darker colors doing extremely well, aim for those weed lines. Many planters 1-3lb range being caught.
5th Annual Veterans Fishing Derby
Many reports of trout and lightnings being caught on min jigs. Try MADE Baits or Fish Thug Baits, local favorites.
Trout are biting along most shorelines on spoons, use brighter color spoons
Bite is hot at markers 1 and 4 (refer to pro maps) doing very well. Tubes are the ticket right now, color does not seem to matter too much.
Released across 4 locations, launch cove, dam, spillway, and dry camp point. Spoons crushing right now.
