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.

For trout, a few holdovers are being nailed near the surface by anglers casting spoons. Trout stockings should be coming at any time.
