Trout Fishing

With the recent rains the water has started to become very muddy in appearance. The bite has also slowed down. Boaters best spots are the Rock Wall , Sandy Point , and Scow Canyon. I have seen anglers trolling out here with not much luck bait fishing is the best bet. Mice Tails , Power- bait and worms have been the most successful colors are chartreuse, spring green, green pumpkin, and the garlic scent. The Main Rec , the Pines and the Oaks are also producing plenty of fish.
