The Upper Kern trout bite has been solid
1-21-2022
Chad Burton and Chris Borden
The Upper Kern trout bite has been solid with reports of limit style fishing. The flows are hanging around 300 CFS and is very fishable. The best action has come at easy access points throughout the 20-mile stretch. Anglers are scoring fish with salmon eggs, crickets, minijigs and worms. The Upper Kern River was stocked this week in the following sections: Section 4, Powerhouse #3 to Riverside Park in Kernville, and Section 5, Fairview Dam to Lazy River Lodge. There have not been any trout plants in the Lower Kern this season, but that could happen anytime. The Lower Kern bass bite is fair on crankbaits, jigs and spinners. Catfish can be found on dip baits, nightcrawlers and cut baits. At the time of reporting, the Upper Kern River was flowing at 316 CFS and the Lower Kern River was flowing at 151 CFS.
