Unlimited striped bass NEW

Striped bass tend to be found offshore in the cooler water. They can be targeted with both hard and soft plastic swimbaits and anchovies. When selecting swimbait colors, shad imitations are a good starting point. Channel catfish can also be caught well this time of year. Anchovies, nightcrawlers, and squid tend to attract bites.

The ranch is still fishing very well for most of the anglers who've fished it this past week, as with the CA side it's mainly been nymphing with a few anglers doing well with streamers. The streamer action seems to be the best early in the day.

Seeing things warm back up!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
After yet another cold snap last week, we are seeing things warm back up to typical spring temps just in time for the weekend. The local creeks are slowly dropping as runoff from the mountains wanes, and the Truckee is slowly but steadily dropping upstream of the Boca confluence. Below this however, things are still running high due to releases from the Little Truckee. While

by DOUG BUSEY
The lake is full and the fishing has been good to fair for small rainbows. Trollers have done well with Rapalas on the road side and the south end. But don't go too far south or you will find the willow forest that's under the water, "Snag City". Shore anglers have done fair with Powerbait or inflated nightcrawlers.
