Russian River – They’re here! Now that the river is starting to green in color. there have been multiple reports of steelhead being caught on the Russian River. Steelies have been hooked from Hopland south to the Dry Creek area. The word is that the Eel River has also been seeing some nice steelhead. Bouncing roe, or drifting a fluorescent colored worm with a bobber, seems to be what is successful so far. The fishin’ is good and will get great as the water clears more.
Blue Lakes- With the rains , the water on the Upper Blue Lake has gotten stained. with that, the trout fishin’ from the shore has picked up some. There are reports of some 2 – 2 1/2 pounders being caught. Also, the same success can be said for those who are on the water trolling. The fish are deep, 20 to 30 feet. Also have been told that a few bass have been picked up on a white spinnerbait at the Narrows area. So, if the steelhead fishin’ slows back down you can go trout fishin’ at one of these two lakes.. LIFE IS GOOD!
Clear Lake- The fishin’ has gotten a bit better, but it is still tough. The water temps. are ranging from 43 – 55 degrees depend where you are on the lake. Looks like it’s just us diehard locals fishin’ Clear Lake right now. The “go to” baits right now is, The cAlabama rig and slow rolling a large swim bait. If they aren’t workin’ for you , you might try drop-shottin’, yo-yoing a lipless crankbait, or dead stickin’ a jerk bait. Also, some bass have been caught on live bait. All in all, it’s nothin’ to write home about. Tip = keep movin’ around. When you do find bass, stick with them. Don’t leave bass to find more bass……
Lake Mendocino- The bass fishin’ has picked up some on our backyard lake. Specifically the small mouth bass. Try a chartreuse colored spinner bait with gold double willow blades, or a 4” jerk bait, twitching it along. The key is to cover a lot of water. Fish areas with a lot of structure and rocks. Stick with it, you’ll get a few. Also heard that there has been some nice catfish caught on anchovies at the channel. No reports of stripers.
Lake Sonoma- It has been quiet on Lake Sonoma. Like Lake Mendocino, there has been some small mouth being hooked. Try fishin’ along the dam, and any other south facing rocky shoreline and points. Keep your boat moving and cover a lot of water. Unlike Lake Mendocino, the water clarity is much better. So a white spinner bait or a chrome lipless crankbait should produce for you. Good Luck…
Remember, a good day winter fishin’ could be five to 12 fish. A good day in the summer could be s10 to 30 . It’s all perspective, and always good being on the water.
Be safe, be kind and watch out for the other guy.
