GOOD BETS …
LOS VAQUEROS RESERVOIR … Recent
5. trout plants have boosted the trout fishing. Bank anglers are landing fish while using PowerBait, Mice Tails, spinners and spoons.
DON PEDRO … Trollers are battling a
6. mixture of kings, kokanee and rainbows. Black bass action is also shifting into high gear. COLLINS LAKE … Shore fishermen and
7. boaters are both catching good numbers of rainbow trout. Experienced trollers are using Trout Trix Minnows and threaded worms with
pink Sling Blades off Dipsey Divers at 10 feet
deep.
SUISUN BAY … Sturgeon fishing continues
8. to be solid for those going out. Toss out salmon roe, lamprey eel and ghost shrimp for the top action.

SLEEPERS …
PROSSER RESERVOIR … Trolling for
9. Lahontan cutthroat trout and holdover rainbows has been excellent. Shore fishing with PowerBait and nightcrawlers is also worth a try.
MONTEREY BAY … Rockfish action
10. has been great on the calm days. Anglers are bagging limits of rockfish, along with some quality lingcod.
TRUCKEE RIVER … Rainbows, browns
11. and Lahontan cutthroats are on tap. Use high water fly fishing tactics during the spring runoff.
LAKE OROVILLE … The spotted bass
12. bite is great. Try 3” green craw grubs on 1 / 8 dart heads, or drop shot 4” finesse worms in salt and pepper.

15. expected to move into the river soon. Fishing with shad flies or small jigs with plastic grub tails is very productive.

the bank.
