FRESHWATER REPORTS
LAKE ALMANOR
Bugs Hatch & Trout
Bite!
CHESTER - “It’s late spring at
Almanor, bugs are popping and
fish are biting,” exclaimed Captain
Bryan Roccucci of Big Daddy’s
Guide Service. “In recent weeks,
we have been fishing all over the
lake but the bulk of our action
has come north of the tip of the
peninsula.”
“It has been a combination of
fast hardware and slow fished
crawlers, from the surface to
20 feet deep, that have been
consistently putting fish in the
boat. Some days one technique
has worked all day and other
days we have been splitting our
time starting out fast then working
slow later in the morning,” said
Roccucci.
“There are plenty of fish out
there but at the same time there
is more than enough food to keep
them happy. The fish, mostly big
thick stout rainbows to 6 pounds,
a few browns to 5 pounds, king
salmon running 17 to 20 inches
and even a monster Sacramento
perch are currently stuffing
them
