Lake Almanor Fishing Report

★★★★☆Stable weather and warm conditions should keep fishing consistent.

Target species

Trout

Technique

Fast hardware trolling and finesse slow-trolling in tighter pockets

Depth 25–45 feet along the east shore

Water temp 70–71°F surface temps

Weather Warm afternoons in the mid-80s, cool mornings, very little wind, lots of sun, stable weather pattern

What is working right now

Be extra careful with catch-and-release due to warm water. Don’t fight fish too long, avoid taking them out of the water, and release them quickly to improve survival. Focus efforts along the cooler east shore near Hamilton Branch and Big Springs for better trout action.
