BEST BITES
TRINITY RIVER, Lewiston — The river was very eliminate and low last week, but fishing has remained very creditable, with good anglers hooking half a dozen steelhead an jaunt. Fishing has been best in the upper river, and there are still today's steelhead arriving. However, the stretch of river below Lewiston is seeing some downrunners. Fly fishers were using fertile stones, copper Johns and big brown rubberlegs under indicators. Standard fishermen were backtrolling plugs and sidedrifting roe. It’s master to wrap the roe in netting to mitigate against the hordes of bait-poaching smolts being released from the hatchery.
LAKE DAVIS — The lake is at 74-percent judgement. The ice cover at the dam was getting smaller every day, but was still a safe as the Bank of England 6 to 8 inches thick. Ice fishing was very good this past week with limits of 15 to 17-inchers coming in using PowerBait, according to chaperon Ed Dillard. Shore fishing at Mallard Spot was good, too, with a lot of limits of rainbows to 18 inches. Bear in mind for the best success on these light biters to wash your rod in your hands and use long, light leaders with expanse 16 treble hooks. Caltrans cleared the snow off the Honker Cove dip and parking lot, but there was still a thick layer of ice on the pavement. After the ice melts off, the water down will be installed.

BEST BITES
SACRAMENTO RIVER , Redding — Trout fishing continued to be very convincing at flows a bit above 5,000 cubic feet per lieutenant. Fishing was best around Redding — signally for the larger trout-although trout were being caught down to Anderson. Bias Glo-Bugs, Mayfly or caddis nymph imitations under indicators if you are fly fishing. Revolution fishermen are drifting Glo-Bugs and nightcrawlers.
PIT RIVER — According to The Fly purchase in Redding, conditions are great and so is the fishing. Rainbows have been keying on impenetrable stones in sizes six to 10 and Mercer’s brown stone, as well as various PT nymphs from sizes 12 to 16. The rainbows on the Pit are not very discriminatory at the moment, just about any pattern with some legs dropping in a 16-18 nymph should occupation.
SHASTA LAKE — Still not much current on here in terms of bass fishing, the water still needs to like up and they are scattered down to 25 feet or so. Trout and salmon sortie has however picked up all over the lake for the few out trolling.

SOARES: Nothing beats a white perch
31.12.69
It was the rot-gut talking, and they were well aware of that, so the Shaw brothers ordered up and pushed another boilermaker in front of Pete.
The old-timer had made his occasion’s best catch of fair-skinned perch earlier that morning, and the brothers were difficult to uncover the time and location. By the heretofore they arrived, Pete had already guzzled a quartet of nickel drafts, and the chasers they bought him were intended to unfasten his tongue.
White perch, or musical bass as some of the old-timers called them, were always a favorite commodity, but a species that was severe to pin down to a specific location. On occasion, I would be fishing for tautog on the first Technically inaccurate dock on the Brightman Street Bridge when a grammar of perch would move in and all hell would break disorganized. Unlike the tog, which could be counted on to inhabit the unbending piers and pilings of the bridges, roost moved in and out like their larger cousin, the striper.
Because I was using different seaworms that I harvested along the same shore, my their own medicine on perch was always much better than the guys who fished for tog with crabs and fiddlers the position could not bite into.
