FISH PLANTS
Mt. Lassen planted 600 pounds of trout to the South shore pond, 600 pounds to the North shore marina, and 600 pounds to the South shore marina on Mon, February 11.

FISHING REPORT
Bass fishermen are still seen coming in and out of the lake but are still tight lipped on where they are catching and with what.

Even though warmer weather and lack of rain have the trout bite a hit or miss, we are starting to see more trout fishermen hanging out at the fish cleaning stations at both shores. Regular catch and release anglers confirm this stating having had a couple of days of multiple catch and releases (10 or more) and then nothing the next day in the same area.

Steve Simmons of Sac caught a 4.97 lb trout by the Narrows while using a rebel lure. Mario Carvajal of San Jose managed a 6.67lb trout out of the South shore trout pond while using a magic bullet lure. Sierra Owens also caught a 7.33lb trout out of the trout pond using power bait. Harold (and Sierra) Owens still managed a nice stringer while fishing the trout pond.
