The Department of Fish and Game will not be stocking the upper lake with trout the week of March 27th. Striper fishing has still been a struggle lately but the past few weeks some anglers have caught a few of them over by the buoy line and back near Elizabeth canyon.

The largemouth bite both at the upper lake and the lower lagoon is absolutely fantastic. Nightcrawlers, crawdads swimbaits, and plastics have been amazing baits at both lakes. In the upper lake the largies have been biting really good for most of the day but the afternoon bite is a little better. You can sight fish for most of these bass in almost any cove and they have been spotted against the shore line to as deep as 45 feet. The lagoon isn't much different the bass are biting all day and all night.

Crappie, catfish and Carp are also biting down at the lagoon. So mackerel and other stink baits have been working for those bottom feeders and the panfish are loving the mealworms and wax worms.

The largemouth bite has still been ok but since the water is so cold they are hanging out in deeper waters. Hopefully the "fish bite" will soon pick up. You might still be able to get the stripers on cut bait back by the buoy line, Kong island and even C-point still. The largies...... Read More
