http://www.countyofsb.org/parks/cachuma.sbcTrout fishing slowed probably due to summer like conditions which caused the temperatures in the lake to raise 3 to 4 degrees. There were some good catches made on foggy mornings by trolling 3 to 5 colors of leadcore with dodger/crawler combos. The best lures for trolling have been flat lining Rapalas and Kastmasters. Shore anglers had mixed results on PowerBait and inflated worms at Marina Point and E Point.
The Bass bite has been better almost every day for either largies or smallies who have been caught close to the bank. Top water lures, blades irp baits all came into play.
Crappie action was fair on mini jigs or trolled C.D. Rapalas in the 3 to 5 size. Catfish made their presence known s well this last week, soaking mackerel in the narrows or Cachuma Bay. Bow fishing for Carp has been good early on overcast mornings ll over the lake. The Chalk cliffs and Sedar flats were the best spots in the late afternoon.

Those fishing from shore also reported a fair to good bite on PowerBait and inflated nightcrawlers. There will be one last 4,000 lb. plant from the Calaveras Trout Farm on......

Later in the seek the lake was plagued by high winds so trollers had a difficult time. Cachuma Lake will be receiving one more 4,000 lb plant from Calaveras Trout Farm on April 18th. That is just prior to the annual trout derby which......
