If you haven’t its high time you did. Once again this fall, Collins Lake will play host to the two day Northern California Trout Angler’s Challenge Tournament Of Champions on November 2 & 3. Collins Lake, situated at an elevation of 1,200 feet, lies about midway between the cities of Marysville to the north and Grass Valley to the south. When at full capacity the lake boasts 1,600 surface acres of water and 12.5 miles of shoreline. Unlike a lot of the state’s premier trout fishing destinations the Collins Lake Recreation Area offers all the amenities an angler requires and is family friendly. The recreation area’s facilities include a boat ramp and marina, picnic grounds, camping sites, RV sites, rental cabins and trailers, general store, laundry equipment, hot showers, sand swimming beach and a children’s playground. If you don’t have your own boat don’t despair. The marina offers outboard equipped aluminum fishing boats, patio boats and ocean kayaks. So, what makes Collins Lake such an awesome fishery? Well there are a couple of driving factors behind the lake’s superb trout fishing. The lake’s rich waters provide an exceptional forage base in the form of prolific numbers of threadfin shad. Yet, the most important factor is the recreation area’s commitment to providing a top notch fishing experience. Collins plays host to the most aggressive trout stocking program north of Sacramento. Spring and fall big numbers of trout are planted. Many of these trout are in the 2 to 3 pound class, but several thousand of them are trophy caliber fish, weighing 3 to 8 pounds. Both shore anglers and boaters prosper at Collins, so no matter what your style of fishing plan on visiting the lake this fall.
