The lake now has some open water around the dam. Please stay off the lake until it has thawed. But by all means, take advantage of the thaw by casting some Powerbait or small spinners in that open water along the shoreline. Those fish are hungry and fishing will be good in those open areas. For more information go to capleslakeresort.com or call 209-258-8888.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
