Collins Lake Staff

Collins Lake has been "blessed" once again!! The end of 2012 brought a full lake and the fishing has been fantastic as well. The lake is starting to settle down as the influx of rain muddied the waters a bit. Nothing has deterred the fishing however as multiple fish catches are a common occurence!

Ken Harris of Marysville brought his 5 yr. old granddaughter Abby, Photo #1 fishing and as usual she caught the biggest one he said, she hooked a 4 lb. Rainbow and reeled it in by herself. Max Cheney and his friend Angel camped over the holiday and caught trout on a daily basis in Elmer's Cove on garlic Powerbait.

The "Awesome Trio" could do nothing wrong! The trio started with Ricardo Gomez of Oroville and included Melanie & Gabriel, Photo #2 of Sacramento. Their first trip together netter 5 trout using Powerbait on the beach, the biggest weighing in at 5 lb. 4 oz. and their 2nd trip was even better with 8 trout, a 5 lb. 6 oz. Bass, and a Sunfish. Their biggest trout was 5 lb. 14 oz, Photo #3.

Jacob Sapp of Camptonville spent his birthday here and one of his presents included 2 trout caught on an orange flyfish he got for his birthday! Tom Ives, Photo #4 of Browns Valley trolled rapalas near the bridge and caught a 5 lb. 8 oz. Rainbow. Ron & Mary Williams of Napa caught 7 trout together just off their campsite using Powerbait but Mary ran away when the camera came out!! What? No makeup? Susan Swartzlander of Plumas Lake thought her 2 lb. Rainbow was the "cream of the crop" until her husband Hal, Photo #5 showed her up big time with his 8 pounder. He just knows how to burst her bubble!! Hal also caught and released a Catfish. Ian Halterman fished his little bottom off for 3 days and refused to go home empty handed, his determination landed him a nice 4 lb. 8 oz. Catfish on Sardines in Elmer's Cove!! Bruce Rasmussen, Photo #6 of Vacaville was totally pleased with his catch (a 9 lb. 4 oz. Rainbow) while trolling a Rapala. Little Thomas Montaudon, Photo #7 caught a huge trout for his size, a 3 lb. 8 oz. on Powerbait by the marina. Brianna Torres caught her Rainbow trout by the dam on orange Powerbait. Andy & Heidi Schweitzer caught and released 7 Rainbows trolling a worm by the bridge. He said there are tons of trout up near the bridge according to his fish finder.
