Lassen stocks have been constant over the last few weeks at Shadow Cliffs, and anglers are pulling quality limits all over the lake. Spoons and jigs are working well in the morning, then PowerBait in the afternoon. Plenty of 2–3 pound fish, with some running bigger. Water clarity is excellent… drop-offs and deeper zones are easier to spot from...

Lassen stocks have been constant over the last few weeks at Shadow Cliffs, and anglers are pulling quality limits all over the lake. Spoons and jigs are working well in the morning, then PowerBait in the afternoon. Plenty of 2–3 pound fish, with some running bigger. Water clarity is excellent… drop-offs and deeper zones are easier to spot from shore right now.

The warm weather has bass finally pushing into the shallows. Most are cruising and actively feeding, though a few early fish are already on beds. Crawfish and creature-style soft plastics are getting hit hard. Drop-shots are picking up smaller fish. Trout anglers are also hooking into a few bass on Panther Martins and Rooster Tails. Size has been modest, with most fish in the 1–2 pound range, but the big pre-spawn females should be moving up soon.
