    Report: Today was a very slow day. I only caught one dinker. I couldn't see its bed, but i knew that it was on one. It was a male fish that was waiting for a female to come along. It is still the pre-spawn. I parked next to the damb and hiked in for about an hour before i tossed out my line. I pulled about fifteen ticks off of me, so for you panzy's i suggest that you don't fish nicasio. The fishing here should pick up soon once when the water temp increases about six degrease: DuckMan415 :(

    Tips: Fish very slow. Watch your line to see if you have a fish cause you won't feel it. Use dark colors and big baits if you want to catch the big onezzz: DuckMan415 :(

    Report: Fished from 6 to 12:30. On my third cast, nailed a 5.32 on a chatterbait. The fish inhaled the bait, hooked him back by the crushers. I looked for big fish today. Threw lots of swim baits and reaction baits. Got one other fish (5.48) of size and the rest were under 3. I think fish on the beds pretty good right now.

    Report: I decided to take my daughter to go fishing. We got there around 3:00 as the wind began to pick-up.We hiked down to a patch of tule, lilly pads, and and fallen tree. My daughter tried a green snag proof frog and had no luck. While I tried a light brown rubber weed less crawdad. No luck either. About 45minutes later we hiked back up to my truck to try a point with the wind with us, but when we reached my truck,my #@%* window was smashed and someone ramsacked my car. DO NOT FISH AT NICASIO RESEVOIR EVER AGAIN YOU'LL GET ROBBED!!!!!!!!!!

    Tips: Use weedless lures to get back in the corners and the tule.I'd wait a little longer to try topwater but it is beginning to work. HAVE SOMEBODY GAURD YOUR CAR!!!!!

    Water Temp: 60 +

    Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)

    Report: My buddy John was down from Oregon so we went out and made a day of it. We started at 7 and fished till 3 and had about 24 fish between the two of us.
    Biggest fish was a 6.3 on a sweet beaver and she was ready to drop eggs, so got her back in the water quick. We had a couple of 5+ and a few 4+ and john missed one about 10 lbs. The 10 hit a swim bait and so did 3 of the other big fish.
    Great day, some ticks.

    Report: I don't think any of you guys writing these reports realize how bad the tick problem is out there. Make sure to check yourself thoroughly and you will see what I mean. Just a heads up. I use to go out there all the time and catch some nice fish, but being covered with ticks just was not worth it. Good luck. D.B.COOPER

    Water Temp: ???????????

    Water Clarity: Muddy (0-2 foot visibility)

    Report: i PASSED BY nicasio about 4 months ago. DO NOT FISH THIS LAKE!!!!!!!!!!!! when i passed by it, i could have sworn the deepest part of the lake was probably only 5 or 6 feet!!!!!!!!!! i could be wrong, but this lake will be a fuckin puddle in a few months!!! it's decent bass fishing when the water is high, and same with the catfishing in the summer- it's actually fantastic catfishing, but do not fish for ANYTHING here right now. all you could catch is Lyme Disease from the massive amount of tics.
    City: el cerrito

    Tips: poor bass over there.

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: fished for an hour and a half at nicasio last week.
    caught two nice bass on 'blades. first one hit right near shore coming out of some weeds and went about 2.5# (16"). the next one was a nice one of about 4.0# (18.5"). i tried to post pics, but this website won't accept because of the "file size," whatever the heck that means.
    very aggressive fish. nice action and fight to 'em.
    City: petaluma

    Tips: catch and release, please. besides, there's so much crap in the water, it's probably a good thing you don't eat the fish here!
