http://www.countyofsb.org/parks/cachuma.sbcTrout fishing has slowed as water temperatures are putting them down to 20' to 30' in the water column. Only a handful of fish were reported last week.

Catfish have been taking cut baits in the backs of coves all over the lake. Bow fishing for Carp has also been very good in the early morning hours and especially in the mid-afternoon in the narrows.

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......

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......
