[size 1][font "verdana,arial,helvetica"][size 4][size 2]KERN RIVER: Trout fishing starting to improve as water starts to clear. Fishing on the lower river is fair to good on smallmouth and largemouth to 4-0. Flows are down so that's its very fishable. For more information, contact the James' Store at (760) 376-2424.[/size]

Tips: Keep casting you can see the fish and they will bite just keep throwing it at them.[/size][/font][/size] [#000000]Ruth Lake[/#000000][#000000]Ruth Lake in southern Trinity County was formed by an impoundment on the Mad River. It's a beautiful lake, about five miles long, with campgrounds, a marine and lodging on or near the edge of the lake.
Rainbow trout is probably the most popular fish in the lake, and provides year-round recreation for locals and visitors alike. The best fishing generally occurs in the late winter or early spring when the waters of the lake turn over, bringing an abundance of food to the surface. During this period, fishing can be incredible for trollers and bait anglers fishing the surface and near the surface of the lake.
The lake also has a population of largemouth and smallmouth bass. Bass anglers use bait or conventional artificial lures such as plastaic worms, spinner baits and topwater lures for spring, summer and fall action.
Although not as numerous, the lake also supports crappie, bluegill and catfish.[/#000000]
[#000000][/url]Trinity Lake[/#000000]
[#000000]Trinity Lake is well-known for bass and trout fishing, and is best known for the California record smallmouth bass, which was caught by Weaverville resident Tim Brady in 1976.
The lake has good populations of both largemouth and smallmouth bass. The dredger piles at the head of the lake, as well as other structures found in the coves and points throughout the lake provide excellent bass fishing for most of the year. Spring always provides the hottest action, however, as both species move into the shoreline to spawn. March through June are the favorite months for experienced bass anglers.
Rainbow trout are found throughout the lake all-year-long. During the spring, they can be found most anywhere as they cruise the lake surface to feed on aquatic insects. As the lake waters are warmed by the summer sun, these fish school up at the mouths of the major tributaries, such as the Stuarts Fork, Swift Creek, and at the Main Stem and East Fork of the Trinity River. Boat and shoreline anglers seldom go without action using the usual baits, and even fly anglers report good fishing on occasion.
The lake also has a population of catfish and kokanee salmon.[/#000000]
[/url]Lake Cuyamaca
Directions:
Located about 51 miles northeast of San Diego, take I-8 east then north on Hwy. 79.
Species of Fish
Due to the colder climate of Cuyamaca, the lake is ideal for year-around trout fishing with 42,400 lbs. of trout stocked all year long. On the average, trout tend to be small (3/4 - 1 lb avg) but are often caught over 10 lbs. Cuyamaca is also the only lake in the county which fly fishing is widely practiced. Besides trout Cuyamaca has a descent population of largemouth bass with quite a few pushing 10 lbs and more, catfish, crappie and bluegill. Cuyamaca is also home to two species of fish rare to San Diego County; Sturgeon and Smallmouth Bass. Sturgeon and Smallmouth were first introduced in 1995-96 by the Dept. of Fish and Game.
Largemouth Bass (limit of 5)
Smallmouth Bass (catch and release only)
Sturgeon (min. size 46", unsure of limit at this time)
Rainbow Trout (limit of 5)
Channel Catfish (limit of 5)
Crappie (limit of 25)
Bluegill (limit of 25)
* Due to an ongoing program to improve the quality of fishing at Cuyamaca (i.e. curb overpopulation), the lake requires all fish to be kept with the exception of Sturgeon and Smallmouth which are regulated under Dept. of Fish and Game regulations. As of this time, all Smallmouth Bass must be released so the population can establish itself. Sturgeon must be at least 46-inches.
