Dusty Britches here along with Frog saying that the trout just keep getting bigger and better.

Mt. Lassen planted on Tuesday, February 25th, 1,000 pounds in the 1 to 3 pound range, 500 pounds in the 3 to 8 pound range, and 500 pounds of lightening trout up to 8 pounds each. They have been coming out although the weather has put a damper on the number of anglers who have shown up to take advantage of the plant. Most trout have been taken at the Chamber’s Park area. The anglers have had the most fortune using night crawlers, mice tails, and power bait. Some eelers are now also being taken on the troll using Kastmasters and Thomas Buoyants. We also plopped in 100 small white sturgeon. Right now they are under size for catch and keep, but in a couple of years they will be of legal size. They are now all in the pond except one that we are watching for a while. The smaller trout in the boat house (two different sizes) are coming along swimmingly….as Sarah Kimder likes to say.

A cool snap has been with for a while with some possible precipitation in the forecast, so if you plan to visit the lake , bring something warm to put on in case you need it.
