The trout bite continues to be strong at Cuyamaca, as it received a late-season trout stocking the week of June 16th by CDFW. Due to the lake's elevation, the water temperature is remaining much cooler compared to other San Diego County lakes. Trout anglers are still finding the most success targeting the deepest parts of the lake, specifically near the dam.
Bass action has also been very good. With the cooler water temperatures, the spawn season typically delays, so fish are still holding shallow. Often times, the bigger females spawn late, so keep an eye out for giants.
Cuyamaca received a 3,000-pound stocking on March 29 (including lightning trout), followed by another 1,500 pounds on April 24. There are plenty of fish to catch, and conditions remain ideal for trout. However, bass action is still slow due to the chilly water temperatures. A few bass have been...
Cuyamaca received a 3,000-pound stocking on March 29 (including lightning trout), followed by another 1,500 pounds on April 24. There are plenty of fish to catch, and conditions remain ideal for trout. However, bass action is still slow due to the chilly water temperatures. A few bass have been spotted in shallow water during the afternoons on warmer days.
Lake temp is still very cold, and anglers have felt it. The trout bite has been slow, and it's still way too early for bass. Another CDFW plant is scheduled for late March, so hopefully this improves trout action considerably.
