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
