The wind is still blowing strong late morning through the late afternoon. Mt.Lassen planted 800 pounds of trout yesterday before the storm rolled in, Yesterday we had a large thunderstorm hit the lake, lightning struck the power center for the park and shut us down all of yesterday and this morning. Have no fear though, we are up and running now.

Striped bass are on the bite, well the little ones anyways. Most stripers being caught are on Anchovies, but Sardines work just as well, A few stripes have been caught on top water baits like, Zara spooks, pencil poppers, and Chuggers, Trout can still be caught, but they are becoming much harder to find. In the coves at their deepest points (around 20-45 feet) is where most trout are being found in schools. Powerbait, Nightcrawlers, and micetails are producing the best results.

Catfish were being caught last week but, no sign of them this week. With the rain comes muddy water and catfish love to prowl in dark stained water. It gives them confidence to come out of their holes and look for food Down in the south end is an excellent place to start fishing for monster catfish, or little ones as well.

East Bay parks are slowly letting the water out of the lake so lots of cover is half exposed and half submerged, perfect for bass fishing Bass have been on the attack of worms like robo worms, senkos, and other finesse baits like flukes Fishing up in the weed beds has been producing fish along with the rock walls. Good luck everybody! -Dan
