Hello Convict Lake fishing report followers!

Catch of the Week:
The Inlet was a very popular place this week! Elizabeth Sperber from Los Angeles and the Drake family caught several good size rainbows there! We also had Gary McCormick who caught 2 1.5 pound rainbow trout at the back corner! They all had success with Power Bait and Night Crawlers.

Derby News:

The weather for this next week will start off with sunny skies and highs in the low 70's with lows in the 30's. By the end of the week temperatures will lower to the mid 60's with the lows in the 30's. Here is a local site that is usually quite accurate www.mammothweather.com.
