Convict Lake Fishing Report
5-27-2019
Convict Lake Staff
Even though the weather wasn't the best this past week, we have seen some whoppers come out of the lake. Three to five pound Kamloop trout were being caught with a Carolina Rig set up. That set up uses a swivel with a slide weight on an 18 inch, 2 to 4 lb. leader and an inflated nightcrawler. Garlic Power Bait, Sierra Slammer jigs, Thomas Bouyants, and Mouse Tails were also pulling out some big ones. The hot spots on the lake were the Inlet, South Shore, and the Marina area.
Baits and Tactics
Inflated Nightcrawlers
Sierra Slammer - Green Grasshopper jig
Mouse Tails - Orange Silver- Chartreuse
Tasmanian Devil - Bleeding Frog
Needlefish - Red Dot - Green Frog
Fishing Tip of the Week
Inflated Nightcrawlers are one of the very best baits to use on our lake. Use a size 4 single hook for larger nightcrawlers or size 6 hook for baby nightcrawlers with a 4 or 6 lb. test with weights equal to your casting ability. The heavier the weight, the further you will cast. Use 1/8 oz. or larger weight. Take a whole nightcrawler and hook it through the head, the middle, and tail. With a Magic Worm Inflater, pierce the skin and squeeze air into the worm. The worm will double in size. Dip the worm in the water to make sure it floats. Cast deep 20 to 40 ft. When the sinker or bait hit the bottom, reel in your slack and let it sit and wait for the bite. The worm will still move even though it is inflated.
Resort News
Our lake got stocked this week with over 400 pounds of Kamloop Rainbow trout from the Desert Springs Trout Farm in Summer Lake, OR. The average fish is about 4 pounds. On the same day, DFW also stocked the lake. Come on up and throw your line in the water, they are just waiting for you.
Weather
The weather continues to play games with springtime.The forecast calls for more snow and rain showers throughout the week. Thunderstorms are a slight possibility midweek. Temps will range from the low 60's to the low 30's. Rain jackets or windbreakers will be in order.
