The Trout were still feeding along the shoreline this week with some nice catches from shore in the Open Area or off the rental boat dock where you can get into some deeper water.  PowerBait is till the #1 leading bait to use, ranging in all colors from rainbow, chartreuse or corn as the most common.

Hal Smith hooked four trout, his big one was a 3 lb. 11 oz. beauty and his total stringer weight was nine pounds and he fishes by the dam using PowerBait.  Arkanto & Jubei Ly from Sacramento caught a little of everything!  They caught a Bass on a Roboworm, 2 Cats on redworms, 1 Trout on PowerBait, and 11 Bluegills on redworms, great job guys!

Justin Marshall sent his photo to me via i phone and it shows his fantastic 4 lb. Catfish he caught from his boat down by the dam using a worm.  Love the photos that people send us from their phones while still on the lake, they are awesome so keep them coming to kathy@collinslake.com please!!
