Horseshoe Lake Report

12-30-2016
East Bay Regional Park District

GENERAL CONDITIONS

The water is coming up every day, so the fish habitat is changing constantly while the Alameda County Water District is pumping in water. The lake came up over two feet in the last two weeks!

As a reminder, we do not sell state fishing licenses at Quarry Lakes, so please be sure to pick up your new state license before you come fishing in 2017. Thank you!

CATFISH

A few catfish are still being caught.

TROUT

Over 2,000 pounds of trout from Mt. Lassen have been stocked in the lake over the last 2 weeks of December.

BASS

Bass bite has been fairly slow. Not too many anglers have reported catches.
