The new year is starting with good trout and striped bass fishing. The water level is currently at 83,500 acre feet and continuing to go down. The water temperature is at 53-54 degrees. Our water clarity is good. A fair number of trout and stripers continue to be caught both from shore and boats.

The first fish stocking of 2016 took place on Thursday with a 1000 lb Lassen plant and a 2500 lb DF&W plant on Friday. There will be another 1000 lb Lassen plant this week.

A 6.5 lb largemouth bass was caught and released last week on a swimbait near the dam.
