Trout fishing is picking up on both sides of the lake, mostly from boaters using various types of lures. Power baits, power eggs, and night crawlers are still good choices.

Robbie Dunham of Galt (in photo at the top) caught a nice stringer with his largest fish weighing in at 7.36 lbs while fishing by Big Hat Island using a Rapala Lure.

Carlos Flores Jr. of Elk Grove caught a 3.49lb trout out at the North shore Day Use area while using glitter rainbow power bait.
