Lake Cuyamaca Fishing Report

Water temps are up in the 70s at Cuyamaca, but the trout bite remains quite good this late in the season. Anglers are catching trout limits in a variety of different ways... some soaking Powerbait or mice tails, others throwing Panther Martins or gold spoons (especially in the morning). And a few folks are even getting fish with the old-fashioned night crawler under a bobber strategy (also landing bullhead and carp too). Overall, the bite remains very good for July, although most fish are on the small end. Look for the bigger fish to start biting once fall hits.

Have not seen a trout caught by me or any one. Fished 4 days in January fishing now February 2nd thru the 4th. Every day I would check the barrels at the fish cleaning station to see if anyone cleaned fish. Not a nibble by me or many other fishermen here that I talked to. Used jigs, power bait, mice tails, night crawlers and spinners nothing. This season has been very disappointing.

Saturday morning at cuyamaca was beautiful and there was barely any wind till about 12:30. I originally went for trout fishing as they had stocked 6 days ago but nothing seemed to bite whatsoever on the shore. I met a dad with his kids with 2 pound trout who had fished on his boat with worms. He gave me the rest and I sunk them and got hit with millions of bull heads and a carp, more than likely you want to hit mid ground to catch anything at the moment but trout will soon bite even more as they continue to stock
