OUR BIG NEWS! We receive the official word from Kent Lambert, EBMUD Manager of Watershed and Recreation that they are expecting Lake Camanche to have both main launch ramps open for the season! Mr. Lambert told me today that they expect to start releasing from Pardee in March but was unsure of the exact date. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that the snow-pack continues to increase.

Last week anglers were reporting a slow bite but we're seeing a different story out on the lake this week. Trolling, bank and even kayak fishing paid off in catches for most anglers. Reported water temperatures of 50-54 degrees on top with the clarity being to 2' to 3' visibility.

As of 02/02/16 we have planted 27,900 lbs. of Mt. Lassen trout with a total of 7,300 lbs. planted into the pond. We are expecting an additional 3,600 lbs. this week. 1,200 lbs. will be delivered to both north and south shore ramps and an additional 1,200 lbs. to the pond. Check back for details of when and where either here or on Facebook for the update.

The inflow from Pardee Lake remained at 11 c.s.f. as of 02/01/16 and the outflow from Lake Camanche was at 180 c.s.f. As of the report on 02/01/16 Lake Camanche was 60.88′ to spill level.
