Rancho Seco is firing on all cylinders right now, and with another 1,500 pounds of trophy trout stocked today ahead of the trout derby this weekend, the fishing will get even better. Over 11,000 pounds of trout have been stocked in the last five months, not counting today's trophy plant. Folks have been getting limits soaking garlic scented powerbait, or running spinners in the early morning hours.

On the bass front, some anglers are reporting 10-20 fish days on Senkos and drop shots. Nothing huge, but solid 1-2 pound fish. The crappie bite has been on as well, with mini jigs and small ned rigs working well next to the docks.
