Lake Camanche continues to fill!

The bite has remained strong!

A massive plant of 3,600 lbs. of Mt. Lassen trout got planted just prior to the weekend to make for very happy anglers. To date, lake management has stocked a total of 38,700 pounds of rainbows, including 13,700 pounds into the pond.

Lake levels continue to rise as heavy releases from Pardee flow into Camanche. At 98% full Pardee Lake actually flowed over their spillway for a short time last week. Pardee has been releasing at least 1,581 C.F.S. into Lake Camanche and Camanche is releasing only 212 C.F.S. As of 3/20/16 Camanche is 41.64′ to spill level and was 49.11 from spill level just a week ago.

Hot spots for trout have been bank fishing off both north and south shores day use areas as well as out by the buoy line in front of the dam, Houseboat Cove, down the Narrows and Hat Island. The pond also continues to be hot with the heavy planting schedule.

We had a one bass angler with a stringer of bass but he was remaining tight lipped out any information.
