- Hesperia Lake Update
Hesperia has been stocking 1,000 pounds of trout every Thursday since mid-November, and the action has been very good so far this season. The stockers are Lassen rainbows... healthy fish averaging 1 to 2 pounds. One reported 8-pounder was caught last week. PowerBait has been most consistent, especially in chartreuse and green (with garlic scent)...

The stockers are Lassen rainbows... healthy fish averaging 1 to 2 pounds. One reported 8-pounder was caught last week. PowerBait has been most consistent, especially in chartreuse and green (with garlic scent). Others are pulling fish on jigs, floating nightcrawlers, and dropshotting small minnow imitation baits. The occasional catfish is still showing up, but right now this fishery is clearly all about the trout.
