Trinity Lake has been hit-or-miss lately. The CDFW hasn’t stocked trout here yet this winter, and cooler water temperatures have slowed bass activity. Still, patient anglers putting in the time are landing quality fish. Bass action has been best on primary and secondary points, worked very slowly with drop-shot worms, grubs, or slow-rolled swimbaits. Most fish are well worth the wait, in the 3-6 pound range.

Crankbaits have been the ticket. The water is extremely high, so the newly flooded shoreline provides the perfect structure for largemouth. Smallies are holding closer to points and rocky areas. Once again, fish fast. Slower finesse styles have not been producing.
