Hot Trout bite
Trout, Bass
64°F Clear

Trout fishing is wide open at Hemet. Shore anglers are scoring consistently with PowerBait and nightcrawlers, while those working spoons, minijigs, or pink trout worms on a dropshot offshore are seeing just as much action. The lake got a major boost from a double plant at the end of April, and the bite has been very good since. Bass are also active...

Trout fishing is wide open at Hemet. Shore anglers are scoring consistently with PowerBait and nightcrawlers, while those working spoons, minijigs, or pink trout worms on a dropshot offshore are seeing just as much action. The lake got a major boost from a double plant at the end of April, and the bite has been very good since.

Bass are also active, with most fish cruising the shallows. Senkos and dropshot rigs with Roboworms are producing, especially around shoreline structure. Both bites should stay strong while water temps hold and the weather stays mild.

These Lassen fish are bigger and higher quality than the typical...

Hemet Lake got a boost this week with 4,000 pounds of Mt. Lassen rainbow and lightning trout, aiming to fire up a slow trout bite. Anglers using Mice Tails, floating nightcrawlers, and PowerBait are hooking fish in most spots around the lake, as the trout seem to have spread out fast. These Lassen fish are bigger and higher quality than the typical CDFW stockers, with vibrant pink meat. Many limits are reported, so get there soon!

Lake Hemet received three trout stockings from CDFW in October, and there’s been plenty of action for bait soakers. The big news is a surprise stock from Lake Hemet Campground on November 5, featuring beautiful Mt. Lassen and Lightning Trout. The boat ramp is always a hot spot for shore casters. Also worth noting, Hemet now allows float tubes, but...
