The trout bite has really turned on at Horseshoe over the last couple of weeks, and for quality fish too. Horseshoe received another Lassen drop last week, and fish are being caught all over the water column. Many have found success soaking Powerbait or micetails off the main peninsula in the deepest/coolest water they can find. But other anglers are catching fish shallow on mini jigs, Rapalas, and spoons... especially early and late in the day. However you decide to approach it, make sure to switch spots if the bite is slow for long, as they seem to be grouped up and on the move throughout the day.

The bass bite has taken a backseat to trout, but there's still some decent action on soft plastics and small crankbaits at Horseshoe and Rainbow. Most fish are running around a pound, with the occasional 2-3 pounder.
