COMMENTS: A little wet out today. San Pablo Reservoir has just finished another amazing week of fishing. The crowds were a bit lighter this weekend due to the overcast weather but the fish were out in strong numbers. Indeed, this week has already seen a number of limits brought in and several whoppers brought to shore. Even with the wet weather there aren't any cloudy water conditions. Come out and join your name to our long list of whoppers caught this month. The reservoir has seen a large amount of trout in the 5 to 8 lb. range this week totaling to 72 whoppers caught since opening day, February 16th.?? So stop what you are doing right now and head out to the water.?? Happy Fishing!

SURFACE WATER: 52 degrees. Water clarity is good with small particulate matter.

PLANTS: San Pablo Reservoir is exercising a strong plant schedule this season. It is our objective to plant between 2,000 and 3,000 pounds of trout per week for the next few months.

In total 9,600 pounds have been planted since February 14th.?? In fact another 2,400 pounds was just planted Friday February 23rd. Our next plant is scheduled to take place this Friday, March 2nd.

TROUT: Trout fishing is currently amazing at San Pablo Reservoir. Cool water temperatures have brought the trout into shallow waters and close to shore.?? Trolling has also proven to pull in some good limits. There are several spots out on the reservoir that have been bringing trout in the 8 pound range. Come ask our staff where these hot spots are located for the mst up-to-date info.

In total 72 trout ranging from 5 to 8 lbs. have been caught in the last week and a half.?? Wow!?? Power Bait in chartreuse and rainbow glitter have proven consistent.?? Also, nightcrawlers and Power Eggs are working well. Trollers have found success with Needlefish and broke back Rapalas. Stop by our bait and tackle shop and pick up what ever your tackle box is missing.

BASS: Bass, big bass. Bass in the 10 pound range were caught last week.?? Honorable mention to Daniel Young. Nice work. The bass fishing is strong at San Pablo Reservoir so come out and give us something to talk about.?? Your best bet is to set up shop over by the launch.

CATFISH: The occasional catfish or two are brought in daily. The water is still a bit cool, but the fish are hungry.

CRAPPIE: Once again, an honorable mention to Aris Andros for bringing in a 1 1/2 pound crappie last week.
