November fishing starts off with a BANG!! Kevin Severson & Chris Peek take two limits of trout by the dam on Powerbait of Powerworms and Kevin’s big one weighed 4 lbs. 4 oz.  Local gal, Nancie Greene was fishing near the bridge for bass using a crawdad lure and hooked a 5 lb. 4 oz. Rainbow trout.  On Nov. 2nd Bertoni Delong of Colusa and , Megan & Josh bagged three limits of trout!! They fished as far north as they could and trolled shallow with a dodger and worms!!

Our lake has already received 7,000 pounds of trout from Fish & Game and private trophy trout combined in the past three weeks.  This week we are taking a break but next week expect another double trophy plant of the larger trout.  On Thursday this week Fish & Game will be bringing in our NET PEN  trout and we encourage anyone that would like to help transport them in 5 gallon buckets from the truck to the pens to come help out!  If you want to help be here by 10am. on Thursday for free coffee or hot chocolate and hang out and wait for the truck which should arrive by 10:30.
