California Fishing

California boasts over 1,000 miles of ocean coastline, 220,000 square miles of ocean waters, thousands of lakes and reservoirs, 29,664 miles of streams and rivers, and 1,800 miles of bay and delta waters. With that amount of water available to fish in, California is an anglers dream.  California has almost every species of game fish available to the avid angler. From crappie to sturgeon and every freshwater fish in between, California has them. And saltwater fish from mackerel to great white sharks can all be found off of the California coast as well.  The bottom line is if you love to fish, California is an anglers paradise. Any type of fishing that you can imagine is available within the state of California.

Clear Lake California Fishing

Bass are biting on live jumbo minnows.  The best action has been in the south end of the lake near Rattlesnake Island, Monitor Island and Konocti Bay. In the north end the best action has been along the docks at Nice and Lucerne. A few bass are being caught near the state park. Also the Lakeside County Park is producing a few bass as well as Rocky Point near Lakeport.

Shasta Lake California Fishing

The bass bite has slowed but the main body of the main lake near the confluence of the Pitt and the Squaw Creek arm produced 10 to 12 if you worked at it. Tossing 6-inch MF in crawdad colors found fish that were spread from 60 feet but 30 was a magic number. Trout anglers have been fishing the southern shore of the lake for some quality rainbows averaging 2 to 3 pounds with silver/blue or red/gold Speedy Shiners.

Lake Berryessa California Fishing

Pressure has been very light although conditions are near ideal for bass and trout anglers.

Lake Camanche California Fishing

Bank anglers and trollers can find rainbows ranging from 14 inches to 7 pounds. Rebal, Rapala and Ex-Cel lures work for trollers in the top 12 fee. Shoreline anglers use Panther Martin spinners, Power Bait and Kastmasters. Both the main lake and South Shore Pond are well stocked. Concessionaires released 14,600 pounds of trout in December so there are plenty to catch. Baby brush Hogs worked in 20 feet or less will yield black bass to 4 pounds.

Lake Havasu California Fishing

Overall slow fishing. The striper bite is still fair with the fish on live shad or shad-like baits early in the morning or after dark, and the action is mostly around the island. Lures that have glow-in-the-dark luminescence are a good idea. The largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing slowed way down. Only a few fish are showing on slow-fall plastics, vertical jigging, or live shad.

Diamond Valley Lake California Fishing

The striper action has slowed. Trout-like swimbaits fished at the inlet or east dam has been the ticket for big stripers. Rainbow trout action has been just fair but the latest plant should help the bite. Floating dough baits, trout jigs, and small trout plastics have been working best. Best action in the marina cove and off the east dam with two-pound test. The largemouth bass bite has picked up and is very good. Some catfish are showing near the attenuator in 20 feet of water on mackerel, shrimp, and anchovies. Bluegill and crappie have slowed with only a few showing on jigs and nightcrawlers fished at the dam.

Lake Oroville California Fishing

Those able to get out are still catching bass and coho.

New Melones Lake Fishing

Trout fishing is excellent for both bank anglers and trollers. Target the mouth of coves and creeks for trout to 3 pounds.  Keep Power Bait or inflated nightcrawlers in 5 to 20 feet of water, no deeper. Rainbows average 11/2 to 21/2 pounds, so it's worth the time and effort. Boaters tie off and bait fish near the shoreline rather than troll. Black bassers find largemouth to 4.9 pounds, hooking most on live minnows. Bass are sluggish and holding in deep water, 20 to 50 feet. Night anglers with lights are finding crappie, if they can endure the cold.
