SACRAMENTO ISE
Collins Lake: Excellent Spring Trout Fishing And Family Fun!
As I motored away from the launch ramp I spotted a mature bald eagle setting in a tree on the far side of the lake, it’ s snow-white head stood out distinctly against the grey-green backdrop.
The electric trolling motor churned silently beneath the surface, pushing me toward the dam as I rigged my rods. On the first rod I tied on a chrome and blue Cripplure, while I armed the second with a 3-inch minnow plug.
I was about midway across the dam when the rod toplining the Cripplure dipped and then popped back up. The fish had missed getting hooked, but a beat later it struck again and this time luck was on my side. The rod drew down into a satisfying arc and line started flowing off the reel before I could get the rig out of the holder. The thick-bodied rainbow put up a determined battle, but within a few minutes it was safely in the cooler … another day in the office at Collins Lake!
Collins Lake, sits at 1,200 feet in elevations, about midway between the cities of Marysville to the north and Grass Valley to the south. When full as it usually is in the spring, the lake features 1,600 surface acres of water and 12.5 miles of shoreline
