may be retained per day for a total aggregate of 3 adult fish harvested daily.
Beginning Jan. 1, anglers will have the opportunity to harvest 1 wild steelhead per day, 3 for the season from the East Fork Coquille River. The open area for steelhead fishing in the East Fork remains the same as in past years.
Steelhead are slowly moving upriver from the head of tide on the Coos Basin rivers. With many of the rivers running low and clear anglers may need to use smaller baits and lures. Some anglers are still having good luck catching winter steelhead near the head of tide on the Millicoma and South Fork Coos rivers. Anglers fishing the South Fork Coos River above Dellwood will need a permit from Weyerhaeuser, which allows the angler to access up to the Seven Mile Bridge. Permits can be obtained at Weyerhaeuser’ s Coos Bay office. In the Coos Basin, 1 additional hatchery steelhead may be retained per day for a total aggregate of 3 adult fish harvested daily.
On the Chetco, steelhead fishing has been fair. Rain is expected by the weekend which should improve fishing conditions. Plunking will be good as flows drop and the river clears.
LAKE TAHOE
Macks Bite For Trollers And Jiggers
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE-“ I have had few groups out recently that requested mackinaw trips. I made a run up to the north shore and fished couple spots known as Razor, Johns Hole and also Stateline Point. Early action is fast from 220-260 feet deep trolling off downriggers,” reported Mike Nielsen of Tahoe Topliners Sportfishing.
“ Slower speeds have been better while trolling VMC spoons. Tingler spoons on Sufix 832 braid with 10 lb Sufix

Fluorocarbon topshots and a touch of Pautzke Liquid Krill,” said Nielsen.
“ Once the bite slowed we switched to jigging Williamson Abyss jigs, tipping them with redside shiners. Keep moving from school to school until you find active fish. It seemed like 140-180 feet deep was the better depth range later in the day,” Nielsen concluded.
Fish Sniffer reader Marco Padilla recently headed up to Tahoe for a bachelor party, but was able to spend some time bank fishing near Cave Rock.
“ I used two rods. I had one baited with an inflated night crawler and I put a gold 3 / 8 ounce Kastmaster on the other rod. The worm didn’ t produce anything, but I caught a 14 inch rainbow and a 19 mackinaw on the spoon. I’ ve fished Tahoe from the bank several times, but this was the first time that I actually caught fish,” exclaimed Padilla.

TRINITY RIVER / LAKE

WEAVERVILLE- Very few anglers have headed up to Trinity Lake lately, but one local angler caught a couple of kings in the 5 lb. range.

Jay Hoagland spent some time bank fishing the Sacramento Arm of Shasta Lake in late January and landed several spotted bass, keeping these tasty spots for the table.

Trinity Outdoors.“ Nobody’ s started targeting kokanee salmon at Trinity Lake yet, but anglers are hooking good numbers of quality kokanee while using spinners, hoochies and other lures in shallow water at Whiskeyton Lake.
With the unseasonably warm weather, some boaters are starting to head up to Trinity to target largemouth bass and smallmouth bass with Gitzits, Senkos and jigs. Expect the bass fishing to pick up when the water temperature warms up in coming weeks and the fish begin to stage in shallower water.
Steelhead action is steady on the Trinity River, with anglers picking up a fish“ here and there” the

3619 length of the river, said Brady. Boaters are concentrating on the stretch from Douglas City to Lewiston, while bank fishermen are concentrating on the stretch from Junction City to Del Loma.
Most of the fish are in the 4 to 6 lb. range, with an occasional larger steelhead in the 7 to 8 lb. range. Fair numbers of both hatchery and wild fish are hitting.
Fishermen are using spoons, spinners, nightcrawlers, roe, plugs and flies, with no one offering working considerably better than another.
Trinity Lake is holding 1,775,465 acrefeet of water, 73 percent of capacity and 103 percent of average.

WEST DELTA
Bait Anglers Bag BIG Bass & Sturgeon
PITTSBURG- Often the fishing in the West Delta during late January and early February is slow due to cold muddy water conditions, but the situation is different this winter. Without big sustained storms and cold weather, the water in Suisun Bay overly cold or muddy and as a result fishing for both sturgeon and stripers has been very good.
“ We’ ve been getting a lot of 20 to 30 pound bass on bait recently, along with some very nice sturgeon,” exclaimed Captain Stacy Mullins of Dragon Sportfishing. On Friday, we had a pair of stripers over 20 pounds and a heavy 59 inch sturgeon. The day before that we got another big bass and two keeper sturgeon.”
“ Our top sturgeon bait has been grass shrimp recently. We’ ve been using roe
