 Most
anglers have put away their steelie gear and a few
are taking advantage of the good action the local
lakes have to offer. Steve Huber will be running
trout and kokanee trips here in April and is also
offering a limited number of Sac striper trips over
the next few weeks. Pete Sparacio will be spending
most of the spring and early summer working the
riffles and tailouts of the upper Sac for those big
wild bows on the Possee Grounds.
Whiskeytown Reservoir:
Steve Huber of Steve
Huber’s Guide Service (530) 623-1918 reported the
lake is still cold at 46 degrees which will pay
benefits for later in the season. The water
temperatures should warm up with the 70 plus degree
temperatures in the area. Kokanee ranging from 8 to
10-inches are found at 20 feet in depth. Huber
reported that these fish will grow to 14-inches by
the end of the season. Anglers are picking up three
or four fish per rod, and they are holding very
tight to the shoreline looking for plankton as they
are actively feeding. He said things are probably a
couple of weeks out before the kokanee bite brings
in some the bigger numbers that Whiskettown is known
for. The bass bite is probably the best thing going
on the lake right now. Brook and rainbow trout can
be found within the top ten feet of the surface. The
lake dropped 210 acre-feet and is at 87% of
capacity.
Lewiston Reservoir:
Pine Kone Resort reported
water temperatures are rising to 42 degrees with
kokanee and trout biting worms or white Power Eggs
from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. or from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m.
when they come up to the surface.. The snow has
melted from around the lake and all ramps are open.
The Ackerman campsite is open year-round. The lake
came up 29 acre-feet at 95% of capacity.
