Lake Berryessa Fishing Report | July 14, 2025

When I'm running chrome spoons and metallic lures for big trout and salmon, Chrome Killer is the fish attractant I trust to close the deal. It's a UV-enhanced oil formula specifically engineered for chrome and reflective finishes, loaded with real baitfish oils, amino acids, and powerful bite stimulants that chemically react with the metallic lure surface to create a multi-sensory attractant combination that triggers strikes even from fish that have already passed on the presentation. I apply it directly to my dodgers, spoons, and flashers before every troll, and I've personally watched it convert follows into strikes and cold spreads into bent rods when no other adjustment was working. If you're running chrome hardware without Chrome Killer, you're leaving fish in the water.

The Trix Minnow is a lifelike soft plastic that matches the exact baitfish profile trout, landlocked salmon, and bass key on. Its slender body and cupped paddle tail produce a natural, fluid swimming motion that stiffer baits cannot replicate, and that action is why it draws strikes when fish are selective. A proven trout troller that also fishes as a soft swimbait, drop-shot, or Ned-style bait for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass. Available in 12 proven colors. (5 Pack)

The Trix Minnows 25-Pack is the bulk supply of Catch America's most productive soft bait, enough for a full season of trout trolling and bass fishing. Each minnow's slender body and paddle tail create a natural, fluid swimming motion that stiffer baits cannot replicate, matching the baitfish that rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, and bass key on. Troll it for trout or rig it as a soft swimbait, drop-shot, or Ned bait for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass. (25 Pack)

The Trix Rigging Kit gives you everything needed to rig Trix Minnows and other soft baits in the head-forward, baitfish-accurate presentation that consistently outperforms a standard drop-back setup for rainbow trout and landlocked salmon. The kit includes the correct hook sizes, line, and hardware to build professional-grade rigged presentations without hunting down individual components separately. Rigging soft baits correctly is one of the most overlooked factors in trout trolling. A minnow that swims true produces fish, one that spins or folds gets passed over. This kit ensures your baits are set up right every time.

The Trix Worm is one of the most proven soft plastics in the Catch America lineup, and the soft-plastic worm is a bass staple. Its ultra-thin body undulates with a lifelike, wounded-baitfish motion that produces rainbow trout, brown trout, and landlocked salmon on the troll, and rigged wacky, drop-shot, or on a light jighead it is a classic largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass bait. Holds gel scents well for a selective-bite edge. Available in 5 proven colors. (5 Pack)
