BASS
Bass are on the surface to 20 feet of water. Some bedfish reported this week. Jigs, plastic worms, senkos, and small swimbaits have all been effective. Matt Sonneman of Santa Ana caught and released a 5.4 lb bass on a plastic worm.

TROUT
The last Mt. Lassen trout plant was on Tuesday, March 13. There are some trout still swimming along the shore. Powerbait, power worms, mini jigs, and nightcrawlers work well for trout. James Meigs of Newport Beach caught a 12 lb trout on a jig.

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 bring panfish up. 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.
