LAKE BERRYESSA
Boaters Battle Kokanee to 18 Inches
NAPA – Kokanee weighing up to 18 inches and 2.14 pounds are the reward for anglers hitting the waters of Lake Berryessa . “ We experienced another outstanding day at Berryessa out with Regina and David for some solid kokanee action pretty much from 8:20 am until 1 pm when we called it a day ,” reported Rich Crispi of TW Guide Service . “ We went 9 for 10 on kokanee up to 18 inches and 2.14 pounds , the biggest Regina has ever caught .” “ David got his biggest today at 17 inches and 1.98 pounds ,” noted Crispi . “ The fish was just 2 bites from 2 pounds .” “ The fishing was steady all day until our agreed leaving time at 1pm .,” stated Crispi . “ We also picked up 2 Eagle Lake trout in the 16 to 17 inch range . Pink was the color choice of the day . We trolled with RMT Moonshine dodgers paired with assassin spinners , squids spinners and Apex lures at 35 to 67 feet .” Black bass fishing is also going strong at Berryessa , with the key being getting on the water early and late because of summer heat . “ On my latest trip to the lake , two anglers caught and released 12 bass weighing up to 2-1 / 2 pounds , including 3 smallmouths and 9 largemouths , ” said Don Paganelli of Paganelli ’ s Bass Fishing Experience . “ We hooked the fish on spinnerbaits in the morning and then we switched over Robo Worms on drop shot rigs . Most of the fish were holding at 10 to 15 feet deep .” Paganelli launched at the secondary ramp at Markley Cove , which has no dock in the water .

BULLARDS BAR / ENGLEBRIGHT RESERVOIRS
Trollers Bring In Kokanee Limits
DOBBINS – Bullards Bar Reservoir is still producing 10-fish limits of kokanee salmon trollers . “ We got limits for two in short order with Brad ’ s kokanee cut plugs and Paulina peak dodgers ,” reported Rob Reimers of Rustic Rob ’ s Guide Service after his latest fishing adventure on the reservoir . Craig Newton at Willfish Bait and Tackle confirmed the topnotch kokanee bite at Bullards . He recommended trolling with pink and orange hoochies and spinners , tipped with white corn , behind dodgers at 35 to 55 feet deep in the main body , at Garden Point and in
Mill Creek . The fish are getting bigger as the season goes on .. “ About 2 fish out of every limit of kokanee will be over 12 inches . The fish are going deeper as the day proceeds ,” said Newsom . Bullards Bar is holding 520,529 acre feet of water , 54 percent of capacity and 63 percent of average . Rainbow trout offer the best fishing at Englebright Reservoir . “ Anglers are using worms and spinners behind dodgers from the surface to 25 feet deep ,” said Newton .. “ Many of the fish are recently-released pen-reared fish in the 13 to 16 inch range .” Englebright is holding 66,704 acre feet of water , 9 percent of capacity and 100 percent of average

COLLINS LAKE
PowerBait is Off the Hook , Bass Still Bite , Catfish Catch On
OREGON HOUSE - Generally trout fishing has slowed compared to the spring , but there ’ s still trout out there and if you ’ re in the right place , at the right time with the right bait you can still do well . Most of the activity is early in the morning . Trolling down deep ( 40 to 50 ft ) is one way to go about it , but with California ’ s 2021 drought conditions trout can only really get into deeper waters along the main channel . The water even 15 ft down is considerably cooler than the surface and surprisingly there ’ s still trout picking up PowerBait bumped
