Lake Gregory California

WEEKLY FISHING REPORT, June 10

FRESHWATER HOT SPOTS

Trout: The best action in Southern California has been at Big Bear Lake with limits of holdover rainbows to three pounds or better pretty common for trollers and shore anglers, but a big derby this weekend will make it crowded here. Gregory and Green Valley Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains are both being stocked regularly and the bites at both is improving. Jenks Lake is fair to good after its third plant of the season this week, and Lake Hemet is also pretty fair. The trout bite in urban waters is pretty much over for the season. But there is still a fair bite for holdover troll fish at Cachuma, Casitas, Perris, and Silverwood. The bite also remains pretty good at Cuyamaca. Trout action in the Sierra Nevada remains just fair overall, but there are some bright spots. The hot pick remains Bridgeport Reservoir with limits of rainbows and browns to four pounds, but there is limit-style fishing on some days in Silver Lake, Convict Lake, and the South Fork of Bishop Creek. For fly anglers, the East Walker, Hot Creek, and Crowley remain good bets.

Black Bass: The bass action is coming back on with most fish out of their post-spawn funks and feeding pretty actively. While fish are showing on plastics fished on structure most places, there is improving action on reaction baits, with spinnerbaits, cranks, and swimbaits at good option, too. Top bets are still Diamond Valley, Sutherland, Otay, El Capitan, Skinner, Casitas, Castaic, Piru, and Silverwood. On the Central Coast, Santa Margarita, Nacimiento, San Antonio, and Lopez are all still good for bass. On the Colorado River, the Lake Havasu and Topoc Gorge bites have been very good and the whole lower river is very good, too.

Striped Bass: There is an excellent striper bite at the California aqueduct near Taft with most anglers getting two-fish limits of fish from four to five pounds, with some to 12 pounds or better. The Colorado River bite is also breaking open in several places. The upper end of Havasu and Topoc Gorge are producing a lot of fish to two to six pounds with some bigger fish. The fish are congregating and starting to move up river to spawn. The Willow Beach bite turned on the past week with some real quality fish over 20 pounds on trout-like swimbaits. Most of the SoCal striper lakes remain just fair. Pyramid is probably the best bet for volume, but most are small fish under five pounds.
