Trolling flashers and a NightCrawler, Red & Gold Thomas Buoyant, or Kastmaster were working for those that like to keep moving. Fishing the inlets - DingleBerry (back right-hand corner), Little George (back left-hand corner) and George (about 100 yards north of Little George) with NightCrawlers, PowerBait & Salmon Eggs. Got a report from Ed Webb who said "We did very well fishing on a sandy shelf using salmon eggs on the bottom" - they were back at the DingleBerry Inlet. Another email report from Bryan states "We walked the entire length of the dam and fished the spillway with great success. We caught all of our trout on PowerBait" - so shore fishing with Salmon Eggs and PowerBait what's working. Still getting stocked by the Department of Fish & Game.

A few bigger fish came out of the Lake this week. Daniel Stern of Danville landed a nice 3 pounder on a NightCrawler, while Brenan Munoz of OrangeCounty caught a 2-1/2 pounder on Green PowerBait. Owen Foster was on his first fishing trip along with his family and managed to catch his first fish and Chase Cracraft of Ridgecrest landed a splendid 3-1/4lb Alper on a Thomas Buoyant.

There 31 sites available for reservations: you can book on-line at www.recreation.gov or call 1-877-444-6777. All other campsites at Four Jeffery and the other campgrounds are first come, first served. There is a full hook-up RV campground - Creekside RV park which is on the road to South Lake. Remember your polarized dark glasses and sunscreen. You've got that sun coming at you in ALL directions and the rays from the snow are deadly! Haven't seen too many of those skeeters yet, but best come prepared with some bug juice - just in case. Also, remember when applying sunscreen, bug juice or any other fu-fu juice. The juice you apply will taint your tackle and bait.
