Collins Lake - CA

Just before Thanksgiving, Natalie Corn of Sacramento caught a late-season redear on the beach with night crawlers. Panfish had been hanging out near the rental dock and in the rocks at the dam but since then they seem to have scattered, or may be settled a little deeper. Jordan Cortez of Marysville caught a pair of lightning trout, one 6.25lbs and the other just over 5lbs, in addition to a rainbow trout while fishing from the shore near the dam using a white swimbait.

Tom, Frank and Bob brought in a haul of 12 trout including a 6.4 pound rainbow trout. Great Catch Guys!

Dylan, Jackson and Steve from Grass Valley loaded up the bragboard including a 6 1/4lb Rainbow Trout, a 5 pounder and four others down at the south end of the park using a Kastmaster.

Ray Fritz or Marysville and Sean Sadek of Yuba City had a great day on the lake, catching three trout including a lightning trout trolling spoons and Kastmasters only 5ft down. They worked the dam and Elmers Cove. The lightning tipped the scale at 6.5lbs and the rainbow over 5.5lbs.

Jason caught this Rainbow Trout in the first half of November on a black & pink lure. Great catch!

These four feisty Redear were caught on mealworms by the dam by Drew and Tyler. There has been steady bass activity although very few boats on the lake lately.

Daniel and Angelo caught this camo-patterened bass from a boat using a classic Krankbait.

Finally, James & Matt Hyman show off this huge Crappie they caught using minnows in Elmer’s Cove.

ere’s a limit from the end of August, Mike Chyzy caugth these five rainbow trout using a red & gold Spinner near the dam – It will be good to start seeing some more trout. T
