The spring bite has shifted gears into overdrive. Aquatic hatches have and will, continue to draw larger concentrations of fish. Lake Cove to the Dorado has been real good trolling. Hooks ups have been coming from all over the depth range. 10 to 45 feet deep. The best two presentations have been fast action lures like, Speedy Shiners, Moose Looks, Needlefish, Rapalas, at 2.6 to 2.8 mph.

The other effective presentation is the chartreuse  Sep's “Strike Master Dodger” with a short, 14” leader, #4 octopus hook and 1/2 a threaded crawler, trolled much slower, at 1.2 mph. The West shore has not ramped up yet, but should start to host aquatic insect events, beginning this week. A few guys have been fishing aggressively over there for several hours and got skunked, but that will change soon. Doug Neal: (530) 258-6732 http://www.almanorfishingadventures.com
