Winter Greetings from Lake Cuyamaca: Warm weather has heated up the trout action. Bait dunking with night crawler/power bait combo is producing stringers with some quality limits .Trolling with Rapalas and Panther Martins is also working well. Use scent for the advantage due to stained water conditions.

Prognosis:!! With all the trout stockings! (Thank You D.F.G.) warming weather and calm winds the trout action will continue to produce limits. Try bait with scent close to shore, open bail and let them take it. Trolling with Rapala's or Panther Martins (use scent) will provide some great action. Water temp 44-48 deg.
