Trout limits are still plentiful this week. Most are caught from a boat in deeper water or off the dock at night. Hal Smith hooked a nice trout (a 5 pounder) in Elmer's Cove on a Powerbait/marshmallow combo. Linda of Elk Grove limited out on Rainbows trolling with worms down the channel. Maria Garcia of Robbins caught her 3 trout on Powerbait and one had a prize tag on it. The Moua sisters fished from shore in Elmer's Cove and caught some beautiful trout, biggest was 3 lb. 4 oz.

Amanda, Brooke, & Megan Kidd of Folsom caught their 1st fish here at Collins on Powerbait from their campsite. Madison Bogert caught Bass all week with her Grandpa Ron Ross using crawdads. Arianna & Julian fished from the dock using worms and caught trout. Haley of Orangevale fished with her grandparents (John & Linda Cartwright) and all week long they caught trout on worms trolling under the powerlines mostly.

Mike Wills & Tammy Bland of North Bay Fishing Adventures caught their limits in just a couple of hours. They also released them back to the lake. Mike says to troll @35 ft. in the afternoon with a 4 ft. leader with 3 to 4 tri-colored beads above the flasher and a nightcrawler on the hook. Their biggest was a 6 pounder!!

Matt Broyles came all the way from Klamath Falls, OR. and hooked a 4 lb. 5 oz. Rainbow on glitter Powerbait by the bridge. Dave Zaski and his group hooked and released a 3 lb. 12 oz. Bass, a 3 lb. 8 oz. Bass and a 5 lb. 4 oz. Catfish on live minnows or worms.

The Porter's of Meadow Vista and the Hendrickson's of Roseville hooked limits of trout fishing from their boat with Powerbait by the bridge.

They were kayaking and drifting with Powerbait. Gloria & Bob Clugston fished from their boat with Powerbait by the bridge and hooked 10 trout on their outing!!
