Last Thursday we received a 4000lb. stocking of Calaveras Trout Farm rainbows. Shore anglers reported limit style action on nighthcrawlers, powerbait, kastmasters, and various spinners, with at least 2 fish besting the 7lb. mark. Trolling picked up after a few days as the trout began to acclimate. Flat lining Rapalas, and needlefish got it done for the boaters. There are two more plants slated this season, one on Wednesday April 2nd, and Thursday April 10th, prior to the annual trout derby set for the 12th, and the 13th of the same month. The crappie bite has tapered off a bit last week, but anglers targeting them reported fair action trolling small minnow minnow imitation or drifting mini jigs tipped with a crappie nibble. The bass bite is steadily improving, some anglers reporting double digit numbers. Carp have been all over the lake, and making for some excellent bowfishing, as well as on hook and line.

The water temp has been coming up, which has spurred another crappie bite in Santa Cruz Bay, and around the cistern island. Trolling Rapalas in the #3 size to locate the schools, then using mini jigs tipped with crappie nibbles has been the hot ticket. Trout action has been fair for those working the north shore with flicker shads and kastmasters. This Thursday, the 20th of March, we will be receiving 4000lbs. of quality 'bows from the Calaveras Trout Farm.......

Shore anglers connecting with powerbait and inflated crawlers. E point, as well as the area beyond the buoy line in the marina. March 20th is slated for the next 4000lb. plant of rainbows from the Calaveras Trout Farm, with two more to follow in......
