The Upper Sac trout bite has been solid, with flows stabilizing. Dry fly action peaks early, transitioning to nymphs as the day progresses. An evening caddis hatch is sparking a lot of action late in the day.
The Lower Sac is cooling off for both shad and stripers. Shad can still be caught, but not for much longer. Your best bet is near the Rossmoor Bar. The best time for stripers is early morning and late evening, as boat traffic has really affected the bite midday.
Brown trout and rainbows are currently very active at Almanor, with water temperatures increasing to around 60 degrees. Trollers are finding fish anywhere from 40 feet deep up to the surface, using spoons, Rapalas, or even soft plastics. A few salmon have also been caught by these trollers. Fly...
Brown trout and rainbows are currently very active at Almanor, with water temperatures increasing to around 60 degrees. Trollers are finding fish anywhere from 40 feet deep up to the surface, using spoons, Rapalas, or even soft plastics. A few salmon have also been caught by these trollers. Fly fishermen are finding success using nymphs under indicators. Meanwhile, the bass action is quietly picking up quickly, with a few nice fish reportedly caught near Chester.
Another trout stocking is planned for this week by CDFW. Overall, action has been very good. Trollers are running spoons or blade/crawler combinations from 15 feet to the surface. Shore casters and throwing powerbait or nightcrawlers.
Boat access is still unavailable due to the snow, but warming temperatures in the coming weeks should change that quickly. Anglers are still finding some success from shore, primarily for rainbows.
The lake currently sits at 75% capacity, although the water temperature remains cold. Trollers are finding some success near the dam for both brown and rainbow trout.
The Upper Sac is seeing some excellent trout action, especially near Redding. On the Lower Sac, conditions have been inconsistent, so fishing is tough. Some stripers are being reported, but nothing notable.
