TROUT FISHING

In California
Many rivers and lakes still have high particulate counts, which is affecting water clarity and fishing. Routine trout plants are occurring at Silverwood Lake. Our other favorite at this time is Lake Piru. Lake Piru is also receiving routine trout plants. The Mammoth & June Lake areas have both lake and stream fishing, with primarily Rainbow & Brown trouts .

In Colorado
We have campgrounds located along the gold medal waters of the South Platte and Arkansas rivers in Colorado. For late summer fishing, we recommend the shady pools and fast water of the South Platte. Excellent trout fishing in lakes and reservoirs can be found in , Rampart Reservoir, Twin Lakes, Turquoise Lake, Lake Isabel, O’Haver Lake and Cottonwood Lake. Ice fishing has been outstanding at Twin Lakes. If unfamiliar with ice conditions, be sure to check with local sportsmen before venturing out onto the reservoir. All anglers must have valid fishing licenses and follow all state laws and limits applicable to fishing.

In Nevada
Trophy size Trout can be caught out of Wildhorse Reservoir.

BASS FISHING

In California
We are currently recommending Lake Piru for large mouth bass action. Talk to the staff at the Bait shop for the latest information on what they are biting on. Keep an eye out here for an update on the Striper action at  Silverwood Lake.

In Texas
Fishing for black bass, crappie, blue cat and hybrid white/stripers is popular from both the shoreline and from small fishing boats at Lake McClellan Recreation Area. The lake depth averages 16 25. There are shallow areas so boaters must take necessary precautions. Bait and tackle can be purchased from the store located within the recreation area. All anglers must have valid fishing licenses and follow all state laws and limits applicable to fishing.
