Catch of the Week: Brittney Lavahne from Riverside with a monster 7 pound 13 ounce Rainbow. She was using a Nightcrawler/Powerbait combo and was fishing near the Inlet from a boat. Great catch Brittney!!

Tactics/Bait: Inflated Nightcrawler and Berkley baits have been doing well all week. Everything from Power Worms to Power Eggs. Across the board once again the top colors are pink, orange or red. Rainbow Tasmanian Devils or Bikini Needlefish continue to hook up quality fish for the folks out there trolling. The top Powerbait color was Rainbow. In the creek, Salmon Eggs and small spinners were the hot ticket. The top shore locations on the lake were the South Shore and Inlet. Other locations to try: North Shore, the Outlet area and Hangman's Tree.

Here is a list of other baits/lures that can be productive: Sierra Slammers, Tasmanian Devil, Green or brown Marvel Fly Lures, Trout Teasers, Panther Martin, NeedleFish, Rooster Tails, and Bite-on Fury Shad on Powerbait. I was suggest using some type of added attractant. Pro-Cure, Bait-On, Lip Ripperz and Berkley all make excellent attractants, which are sold at the general store.

Here is a list of recommended flies:
Dry Flies: Adams, Female Adams, Cutter's Caddis, Elk Hair Caddis, Stimulators, Black/Red Ants, Sierra Bright Dot, Royal Coachman and Hoppers.

Streamers: Wooly Bugger (black, brown, olive, or green), Mutuka (black, brown, olive, or green), Hornberg, and Muddler Minnows. Wet Flies(Nymphs): Prince Nymph, Flashback Pheasant Tail, Hare's Ear, Zebra Midge (red and black), Copper John (red and copper) and San Juan Worm (brown or red).

Other Resources: View our Convict Lake Fishing Map and Fishing Rig Suggestion brochures. Both brochures are available in the General Store.

Weather: The forecast is calling for afternoon thunderstorms and warm temperatures throughout the week. The high temps next week will be in the low-80's and the lows in the high-50's. Here is the National Weather Service link that is usually quite accurate: 7-Day Forecast Convict Lake.
