Yucaipa has been receiving plenty of stockings from both SBCRP and CDFW throughout December. With six plants this month, the lake is full of fish. The county stocked some impressive Calaveras trout as well, with fish up to 4-5 pounds not uncommon. The bigger trout are hitting jigs and small soft plastics on drop-shot rigs, but the classic PowerBait setup is still producing limits. Quietly, big bass are cruising the shallows, looking to pick off unsuspecting stockers. If you have a big trout imitation bait, now is the time to throw it.
