The trolling bite is picking up as the moon phase darkens, but it has not been a hot trolling bite. Boats are scattered looking for some action, but no single trolling lane has been standing out.

Best bite is inside the Hamilton Branch from shore. Hatches along the upper Hamilton Branch are sending food downstream and fish are in there are thick.
Stringers of Rainbows up to 24” have been coming out of there all week, mostly off drifting flies. A few hit lures, and bobber crickets are also reporting quality fish.
A 16 pound brown was caught at the top riffle last week and taken to Canyon Dam for weighing.  Doug Neal: (530) 258-6732 http://www.almanorfishingadventures.com
