Idaho Fish Report
Inconsistent bite at Almanor
by Nor Cal Fish Reports
5-27-2015
Surface temps pushing 61 degrees by midday. With the cloudy mornings, silver dodgers or flashers are the go-to. Once skies clear, switch to fast action rigs like 1/6 ounce Speedy Shiners, Needle Fish #2 silver, white, or 3 red dot frog. Dodger/crawlers presented slowly also will work. Add Pro-Cure trophy trout, and or, carp spit for added attraction. Areas that produced for us this past week have been the Dorado on the east shore, Rec.1 to A-frame, and the USFS ramp to Almanor West.
