Almanor Fishing, Weather & Lake Report

John Crotty, Almanor Fishing Association


2/28/21

There has been little change since last week’s report on Lake Almanor. Clarity is unchanged at 5-8’, lake level is up two tenths to 4480.42 and water temps are beginning to creep up reaching the low 40’s with the increasing afternoon sun. We are in for another week of dry weather with cool mornings and sunny afternoons with temps forecasted to reach into the low fifties. There is a slight chance for some weather next weekend. 

Hamilton Branch is still depositing muddy water into Almanor with less than a foot of visibility. We are seeing an increase in shore fishing around the dam. The majority of the fish caught are small with reports of a few mature fish in the mix.  The recent full moon accompanied by winds has made for tough conditions for trollers. The bite around the dam has all but dried up and you have to search the lake for biters. With the warming water temps, we will begin to see bug hatches around the lake and fish should move to the north/west end of the lake keying in on insects. 

It’s time to cover some water in search of fish. I would recommend starting at any of the big-name trolling lanes, Goose Island to the jetties, Big Springs, Hamilton Branch, Big Cove to the Peninsula and along both the east or west shorelines. Fish your favorite presentation and find some pond smelt to find fish. The bite should improve with the waning moon.

AFA is in the process of finalizing our annual newsletter and prepping for printing. We will distribute more than four thousand newsletters to our members and supporting businesses throughout Plumas County. If you are a business owner and would like to be recognized as a supporter of AFA please go to our website and signup or send us an email. If you have been a supporter of AFA in past years and you or your business have been impacted by COVID and you would like to have your business listed, please send us an email us at Almanorfishing@SBCglobal.net. Deadline March 5th!
