http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=537Lots of fish were caught this week, and I mean lots of them! Multiple anglers had mixed bags
of Rainbow Trout and Striped Bass, most of these mixed bags were limited out 5 Trout and 2
Stripers. Some of the Trout caught were even reported eating "Anchovies". This would be a
first for me but, I don't doubt it since Trout are a predator and eat other fish. Water temperature
is still hovering around 70 degrees. Mount Lassen planted 1,000 pounds of trophy Trout this
week which is sure to stimulate an aggressive Trout bite for next week. Power bait is still the
most effective way to catch them but night crawlers are just as good.
Even though fishermen are still catching limits of Rainbows, were seeing just as many limits
of Striped Bass in all size ranges. Lately we haven't seen very many big stripes except for the 17
pounder caught by an unknown anglers this week. Surprisingly he was Trout fishing with
Power-Bait and 6 pound mono. He fought this monster for over 30 minutes before successfully
landing the fish. Other fishermen are having luck with cut baits, Anchovies are the favorite but, I
prefer Sardines or Mackerel because it’s a more oily flesh.
We should start seeing catfish again here soon since the wind has died down during the day
allowing the heat to set in. Just wait until we have at least one week of 90-100 degree weather,
then hang onto that catfish pole because they are going to be hungry and aggressive. That's it for
this week’s report. If you come up to Del Valle PLEASE bring you fish in so we can get
pictures of them and I can enter you into my weekly report! We love seeing you and your fish so
come on up drop a line and stay awhile! Good Luck! -Dan

Warm and sunny with a light breeze was our forecast here for the week, we had a freak rain storm yesterday in the early to mid morning.
