It was pretty much the same pattern again this week... Like the weather, trout bite was up and down with anglers using everything in their tackle boxes to catch their fish. Power Bait (especially salmon peach, orange, and spring green), inflated night crawlers, jigs and lures all caught limits. Most trout were near or over two pounds and many over 3 pounds. Hot spots included the grassy point, eastern logged shore and western shore of lake 3 from the bridge to the pump house as well as the northern and eastern shores of lake 2.

Catches of the Week: Danny Kodama of Fullerton caught his 6 lbs 13 ozs rainbow using a jig on the north shore of lake 3.
