BASS
Bass fishing is picking up. You can find them on the surface to 20 feet of water. Anglers reported bass from 4 lbs to 7 lbs. Jigs, plastic worms, senkos, and small swimbaits have all been effective. John Misiti of Winchester caught a 6.03 & 2.22 lb bass using nightcrawlers.

TROUT
The last Mt.Lassen trout plant was on Tuesday, March 13. Many trout reported swimming along the shoreline, come and catch them! Powerbait, power worms, mini jigs, and nightcrawlers work well for trout. Many anglers reported catching rainbow and brown trout this week.

STRIPER
Striper fishing has been tough. Cut bait (sardines or anchovies), is your best bet. Trout pattern swimbaits like La Sliders and Huddlestons work well after the trout plants.

PANFISH
Consistent, warm weather will keep/bring panfish up. Some redear and bluegill reported swimming shallow along the shoreline. Nightcrawlers work well for bluegill, crappie, and redear.

CATFISH
Few catfish have been reported since the record 56.8 pounder caught in the beginning of the month. Nightcrawlers and shrimp are effective for catfish.
