Idaho Fish Report
Almanor ready to launch
by Nor Cal Fish Reports
4-15-2015
Surface temps approach 55 degrees by midday and clarity is up to 13 feet. The hatches have ramped right back up after that snow and cold wind last week. East Peninsula, Rec. 1 to A-Frame has been very good. We had limits of rainbows and browns before noon and a few got off too. The bite was light early and the fish were small, about 14 to 16 inches. As we got a little deeper into the morning the bite really went off and each successive fish was bigger than the last. Even the Smallies are happening. Bass boats are working Catfish Beach, North Shore Campground, and Gould Swamp. Right now the whole lake can produce. Fish are active as insect protein combined with warming water have increased their metabolism 10x. Doug Neal: (530) 258-6732 http://www.almanorfishingadventures.com
