Lake Almanor Fishing Report | June 23

The Trix Minnows 25-Pack is the bulk supply of Catch America's most productive soft bait, enough to cover a full season of serious trout trolling without running out at the wrong moment. Each minnow's slender body and paddle tail create a natural, fluid swimming motion at trolling speeds that stiffer baits simply can't replicate, and the profile exactly matches the baitfish rainbow trout and landlocked salmon key in on during prime feeding windows. The assortment spans the core colors proven across California and Western trout fisheries, so you can rotate through patterns until you dial in what the fish want on any given day.

Garlic has been a proven fish attractant for generations, and Goomba Garlic takes that classic ingredient and builds a premium formula around it that works on kokanee, rainbow trout, and landlocked salmon. I developed this formula based on what I’ve seen work consistently on Lake Almanor, one of Northern California’s most demanding trout fisheries. The garlic base is enhanced with amino acids and feeding stimulants that amplify the strike trigger beyond what plain garlic provides. Apply it to soft baits, flies, or dodgers and you’ll put more fish in the boat.

The Junior Optimizer is a large, precision-stamped trolling spoon engineered for high-speed presentations that cover serious water and produce rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, and king salmon when standard hardware can't keep up. Its wide profile pushes through the water with a consistent wobble-and-flash at fast trolling speeds without spinning or rolling out, giving it reliable action across mixed-speed spreads from inside lines to outside leads. Built to cover long distances behind the boat, it stays in the strike zone from the flat line all the way back to the third rod, making it one of the most versatile spoons in the lineup for any multi-rod trolling spread. The 24K gold and chrome base finishes maximize reflectivity, and the full 28-color library covers the attractor and imitative patterns that produce across varying light conditions and fisheries.

The Trigger Spoon is Catch America's flagship trolling spoon, engineered to produce aggressive strikes from rainbow trout and landlocked salmon across every condition and depth. Its precisely tuned body geometry generates maximum flash without spinning or rolling, maintaining a true baitfish-mimicking wobble at trolling speeds from 1.5 to 3.5 mph where other spoons lose their action. The 24K gold or premium chrome base finishes maximize light reflection, and the painted color overlays match the proven forage patterns that produce in California and Western trout fisheries across all seasons. Available in over 50 color patterns. The most comprehensive spoon color range in the Catch America lineup.

The Trix Grubs 25-Pack gives you a full season’s worth of the most productive soft bait grub in the Catch America lineup at a price that makes stocking your tackle box easy. Each grub’s ribbed body creates intense vibration and a natural swimming action that rainbow trout key in on at trolling speeds from slow to moderate, and the soft compound holds scent effectively for an added fish attractant edge when fish are being selective. The 25-pack assortment covers the core color patterns proven across California and Western trout fisheries so you can rotate through options without running out mid-trip. Fish them behind a dodger, on a Trix Rigging Kit, or as a standalone bait.
