Lake Almanor Fishing Report | July 14, 2025

Catch America Tube Flies trace their design heritage to post-WWII fly tying traditions, and they’ve earned their place in the trout and salmon trolling category through decades of consistent production. The tube design allows the fly to slide up the leader during a fight, preventing the fish from using the fly as leverage to throw the hook, a critical advantage when landing larger rainbow trout and landlocked salmon. Their flowing, multi-fiber construction produces a natural, breathing action at all trolling speeds. Available in 6 proven color patterns.

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.

Brown trout are one of the most challenging fish in freshwater: spooky, selective, and quick to reject anything that doesn’t feel or smell exactly right. I developed Brown Town specifically to give you an edge on browns, using a premium fish attractant formula that matches the forage profile brown trout key on in California’s high-elevation lakes and reservoirs. Apply it to flies, soft baits, or bait and you’ll notice fish committing faster and holding longer. The difference between a fish that follows and a fish that bites. If browns are your target, Brown Town belongs in your kit.
