GENERAL CONDITIONS

Reminder to boaters: All watercrafts (including float tubes) need to have a wearable Coast Guard approved personal floatation device (PFD) per person. Children age 12 and under must wear personal floatation device (PFD) while the vessel is underway.

The bass and catfish are biting at Contra Loma! Many anglers are reporting success catching catfish! And several people are catching bluegill and red ear sunfish off the boat dock.

TROUT

With summer and warmer temperatures, trout fishing is slowing down, and being replaced with largemouth bass and catfish. We are getting reports of tiger tail lures in pink or yellow being the best lures to try! Try using Powerbait or nightcrawlers as well.

CATFISH

The catfish bite has been great the last few weeks! Try fishing for catfish at Channel Point or Loma Island with anchovies, nightcrawlers or chicken livers. Boaters have been doing well toward the middle of the reservoir or along the dam.

BASS

Black Bass have been biting with artificial baits/lures or nightcrawlers anywhere around the lake or from boats. Many of the larger bass seem to be stalking the stocked trout, and some anglers are reporting success by throwing swim baits on the near shoreline, mimicking the stocked trout. We are getting reports of anglers catching bass up to TEN pounds! Both boat anglers and shore-casters are having luck, so keep moving if you are not catching!
