      Report: Report: I am sorry this is not a report, but I am fishing Almanor this weekend, and was wondering if anyone knows how the bass bite is. I catch and release, so I will not hurt any of the fish. I just hope that there not on beds. Any help that anyone can give me will be appreciated!

      Report: Had a great week at the lake, but the ishing was very poor. Went out every morning around 6:30- 9:00.I threw literally everything with very little success.Probably threw twenty dierent plastic baits on darterheads and split-shot rigs and never hooked up.Tried Senkos,Ricos,crankbaits,jerkbaits,spinnerbaits with no success.The only ish I caught were on a 1/8 oz jig w/ yamamoto 4'' double-tail grub. One three pound Smallie and a two and a hal pound same.I believe the ish are gorging on the pond smelt, they are everywhere you look and must be easy- pickens because the ish were deinetely not hungry.
      City: Granite Bay Ca.

      Tips: Try the evening trout ishing on the West bank.The hex are still hatching and we caught 3 lb trout on split shot crickets without spending much time trying.All decent size rainbows.

      Report: Our annual trip to this beautiul lake was nothing like it was last year and you just can't do anything except enjoy the beautiul area when you ain't doing much catching. We ished in rain, sleet, snow and wind all week until Thursday when it started to warm up and those big, at emales were inally moving back to the beds. Spinner baits were the ticket until Thursday and then Senkos were back to their normal action. Averaged 3 ish a day but they were all big beauties and now with the weather changing, I'm sure you'll see some huge weights brouht in this weekend at the tournament.
      City: Wheatland

      Tips: Throwing white blades in and around whatever stumps we could see. When the weather warmed and the emales started to bed, white Senkos (4" with a small weight) made all the dierence. You must ind the stumps and they were there. I must have seen 50 bass on Thursday just roaming around looking or a place to call home. Only wish I had gone this week instead o last week. Work slowly and you'll have a successul trip.

      Water Temp: 62

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: Monday and Tuesday we spent the day in the northeast corner in all the stumps that were visible or up to 3' submerged throwing a 4" white Senko with a 1/0 EWG and they just couldn't get enough o them until we ran out. Would not touch a 5' o any color so wound up cutting o 1" o white and salt/pepper until my overnight rom Phil's Prop showed up with more 4" and white tube baits. Caught nothing less than 15-20 a day in the 3-6 pound range (yes we weighed many). As the week progressed so did the pollen rom all the pine trees and tons o it were sitting on the surace making spotting the stumps more diicult until yesterday when all the pollen starting settling into the water making it totally murky but still ish as long as the wind was not blowing. Saturday we went all the way south where it was gin clear and hundreds o beds holding ish while we worked white tubes with great success. I you're planning on going up there, don't wait and you should still have an unorgettable ishing trip as my hook setting arm is so sore I have to treat it to reduce the swelling. Wind only came up on Saturday and boy did it blow so we worked the banks with blades with a air degree o success. We planned this vacation around the ull moon and already have next year's vacation time marked on the calendar.
      City: Wheatland

      Tips: Senko in white, 4" and white tube baits sight ishing stumps and beds. Blades on the windblown banks in white, double willow lea and smoke grub trailer. Warmest water was 62 so they are still on the beds. Have a ball!
