The action on the lake this week has been strong. The big ones have been hitting on inflated night crawlers, garlic pinched crawlers and as always, garlic power bait.  The weather has been quite warm, so they have gone down deeper.  All areas of the lake were productive from the shore and from the boats.

Hot Creek Fish Hatchery is scheduled to stock the lake this week.  The problem that they were having has been resolved, and they are now able to stock the lakes and creeks in our area.  This is great news for all our anglers.

Notable catches this week are:

• Elisabeth brought in a 2 ½ lbs. beauty on garlic power bait at the Inlet.
• Justin from Woodland Hills got a 3.75 lbs. lunker on Zeke’s Garlic on North Shore.
• Franco used a Rapala on South Shore to catch a 2 ½ lbs. rainbow.
• Ray from Fontana used a Gulp Worm to bring in a 3 ½ pounder on South Shore
• Jan-Erik from Thousand Oaks used power bait at the Inlet to catch a 4.25 lbs. rainbow.

The weather this coming week looks to be mostly sunny with temps ranging from the mid 80’s to lows at night in the low 50’s at night.

Come on up and throw your line in the water!

Anglers were out there catching some real big ones this week. The warmer weather is making the fish go down deeper, but fishing all around the lake was successful.  Power bait with garlic in various colors seemed to be best this week. Thomas Buoyant lures and the new Gorditos Custom Baits, which are now available in the store, were also very productive.

The Round-Up Derby ended on Sunday evening and the results will be posted tomorrow.  We are pleased to say that everyone who caught a 14 inch or bigger fish has won a prize!  Thank you to all who participated in the derby.  It is always a fun way to start off the season.

• The biggest catches this week were for Anthony and Miguel who each caught some whoppers over 4 lbs. each using the new Gorditos Custom Baits.
• Sarah from Hemet got her 1 ¼ lbs. beauty on yellow/green power bait on South Shore.
• Tyler got a big 3 lbs. on garlic power bait
• Jay caught a 2 ½ lbs. on garlic power bait.
• Brandon from So. Pasadena used rainbow power bait on North Shore and caught a 2 ¾ lbs. lunker.
• John and Holly both caught ones that qualified them for the Round Up Derby.
• Chris and Chris both had a fine day out on the lake.
• Joshua used a Thomas Buoyant to bring a 4 lbs. lunker.

Remember to come into the store for all your fishing licenses, rods, baits, tackle and snacks before heading down to the lake. We are open daily at 6:00 AM for those who want to get the early morning bite.

FISH REPORT

JUNE 2, 2021

We have had beautiful weather this week and the bite has been great.  We stocked the lake with 700 pounds of lunkers for the Memorial Day weekend and for the Hangman’s Tagged Fish Derby.  Unfortunately, no tagged fish were caught, but quite a few anglers qualified with a 14 inch or larger trout for the random drawing for prizes valued at $6000 as part of The Round-Up at the Lake Derby which will end on June 13^th.

The Inlet and South Shore were the hottest areas on the lake.  Once again, inflated night crawlers, garlic power bait in yellow and rainbow were bringing in some big ones.  Gulp pinched crawlers were also quite effective.

Ted from Pasadena caught a whopper 5.75 lbs. on yellow power bait on South Shore.

Bert from Bakersfield had a 2 ½ lbs. beauty caught on rainbow power bait at the Inlet.

Daniel from Upland caught a 5.25 lbs. lunker on a garlic pinched crawler at the Inlet.

Aaron from La Crescenta tried a different tactic and used a nymph fly and it proved to be a success.  He pulled in a 4 ¾ lbs. and a 2 ½ lbs. at the Inlet.

The Boys Catching a Buzz is just a big reminder to please carry out all of your trash.  Let’s all keep our lake area as pristine clean as possible. It is too gorgeous to leave your litter behind!

The store is open everyday at 6:00 AM. You can get your fishing license, bait and coffee before heading down to the lake.  The marina crew has boats ready to take out at 6:00 AM too.  Boat reservations are definitely recommended.

The Aspen Grill opens at 7:00 AM daily for our famous gigantic breakfast burritos and other tasty breakfast and lunch choices.

We look forward to seeing you this summer and making 2021 memories.

MAY 19, 2021

As typical in the spring, in the Eastern Sierra, Mother Nature rolled in thunderstorms and crazy winds this week. The wind is blowing as I type this!

Despite all of this, the fishing has been quite fine at the lake.  Both the creek and the lake have been stocked!

The Resort will be stocking the lake with TAGGED fish for our Hangman’s Cash Prize Derby over Memorial Day Weekend. Be sure to sign up in our General Store!

The bite has been successful on inflated night crawlers, garlic power bait in assorted colors and Mouse Tails.  The old stand-by, the red and gold Thomas Buoyant, also was a good bet to use.  Both North Shore and South Shore seemed to be the hot areas.

We had some big catches by our smallest anglers. It is always exciting to see the little one pull in their first trout.

• Nick Incardona caught a 6 lbs. beauty on a brown Mouse Tail with a red head on North Shore.
• David Newman from Long Beach caught his 3.5 pounder on a night crawler by the handicap ramp.
• Sylvia Diaz from Three Rivers pulled in a 3 ½ lbs. using a night crawler with garlic oil over on North Shore.
• Dave Cavelli from Santa Barbara had a big catch of a 3.0 lbs. also using a night crawler on North Shore.
• John and Terry had the biggest lunker of the week with an 8 ¾ lbs. and a 2 ¾ lbs. with a night crawler on North Shore. Way to go!
• Mark, Courtney, and 4 month old, Sloane, from Riverside pulled in a stringer with 3 ¼ lbs. and  3 ½ lbs. on South Shore.
• Easton who is only 5 years old from Hemet was able to bring in a 2 ¾ lbs. big one using a night crawler on South Shore.
