SWITCH TO SUMMER HOURS

This week we make the switch to summer hours. The lake will be open on Fridays and Saturdays from 6 a.m.— midnight for night fishing . On Sundays, the lake will be open from 6 a.m.– 7:30 p.m.

TROUT BITE

Trout were biting on Chartreuse and Rainbow PowerBait early in the morning. The T-dock was the most productive spot for Sierra Bows. Trout were reported to be pulled from Cactus Patch as well.

CATFISH & PANFISH

The Bluegill and Redear bite was on this weekend. Anglers casting 20-30 feet from shore landed Panfish up to 2 lbs. Wax worms and meal worms were the best bait.

Catfish were biting on cut mackerel and chicken liver. A few anglers caught their limit in Hermit Cove this weekend.

The first catfish stocking of the season is this week! 2000 lbs. will be stocked in anticipation of the Catfish Opener on this Friday, May 27th. Read about the event in “Announcements.”

Ryan, Tim, and Colin of Rancho Penasquitos caught their trout limit from the t-dock by 9:30 a.m. Sunday. They were using PowerBait.

Vann Choeurn reeled in a 2 lb. 12 oz. bass in Hermit Cove using a Peanut Butter and Jelly Senko. He released the bass after snapping a picture.
