Cooler surface temps have more fish closer to the surface longer during the morning. Anglers at Canyon Dam, the shallows on the west side, float tubers and trollers have been getting quality rainbows in the three pound class.

Smaller schools of smelt are near Prattville and Plumas Pines. Needlefish and shiners are some of the hot lures. Doug Neal: (530) 258-6732 http://www.almanorfishingadventures.com
