Tactical Trout and Bass at Lake Almanor 🎣

Lake Almanor is showing good action for trout while bass fishing remains a bit slow. Trout anglers trolling lures or flies at a crawl are landing solid browns, and bank fishing is heating up with PowerBait bringing in daily catches. For bass, stick to Senkos, shakyhead worms, and crawdad-pattern crankbaits, but don’t sleep on large swimbaits—they could net you a trophy smallmouth if the weather warms up. Focus on precision and patience for the best results this time of year.
