PYRAMID LAKE
The Area from Sutcliff Marina to the very South end of the South
Nets is closed
The fish are still in shallow water and mornings and
evenings have been awesome. Foam Dragonflies, Northern lights
tadpoles, and Crystal Beetles have been working well fished with a
shooting head. Snow cone midges fished with a floating line have also
been effective. The warm weather will start to move the fish out to
deeper water very soon.
FLIES FOR PYRAMID LAKE
Bloody Mary 6, Cahrtruese and White Wooly 4-6, Black and Red Wooly

Maholo Nymph Red 12, Maholo Nymph Silver 12, Copper Johns 12-14,
Double Rib Chironomids 12, Chironomid Bombers 10 and14
CROWLEY LAKE:
Sandy Point has been the most consistent for numbers of fish. #16 Tiger
Midges 6" - 2 feet off the bottom in 10-12' of water have been
producing. The larger fish are still staying down deeper, but
occasionally are in the mix when the wind comes up. but Concentrate on
Green Banks, Layton Springs, Whiskey Creek, Crooked Creek, and Big and
Little Hilton. Pulling streamers with a sinking line has also been
producing fish.
Bridgeport Reservoir:
survived the opening weekend... Most
everyone caught fish and the weather was great!!! The water level is a
bit low but that should fix itself soon with warm temps on the
horizon... Fish are scattered throughout the lake. Water temps are still
cold,(47 to 53 degrees on the surface) so fish are seeking wherever it
is warm....Maybe towards the surface. Was good to see all you Fly Fisher
folks on tubes and pontoons .....Action was fair to good for still water
nymphing (midges) and those with sink lines and streamers.....The
midging should go off this year with the abundance of snowmelt higher
up.... The Brown Trout that Paradise Shores planted last fall are
looking very healthy...A huge thanks to Eric and Michelle!!!!!!.....On
that note maybe we should all CONSIDER RELEASING those beautiful Brown
Trout SO they WILL GROW EVEN BIGGER!!!!!!
PLEASANT VALLEY RESERVOIR
Air temps have been a lot warmer down this way. Fish the
inlet section which flows into the Reservoir with streamers and nymphs
for some grabs. Float tubing with a full sink line and a variety of
streamer patterns will get you into fish. Concentrate your efforts near
the boat ramp area and you should do well here. The Wild Trout Section
has also been fishing well lately. Nymphing has been producing fish as
well and dry flies are getting fish when they are on the surface. The
gorge is also a good option as this is a great time of year to get fish
on dry flies. Good presentations are important to fool the wild fish
down here.
Mammoth Lakes, June Loop,
Bridgeport:
The upper elevation lakes in the Mammoth area are still
frozen, with some thawing around the edges occurring at the Twin Lakes.
Convict Lake is in prime shape for the opener and should fish well. All
of the lakes in the June Loop area are free of ice and will be open. We
had some late ice on them which was blown off by the winds within the
last week. Bridgeport Reservoir and Upper and Lower Twin Lakes are also
completely clear and looking good. Good luck to all this 2008 season and
tight lines!
Lake BRITTON
At Lake Britton, there are still no reports of crappie or bass being
taken. “Overnight lows have been down to below 18 degrees, so will still
take a week or two for the water to warm up enough if the weather stays
sunny and warm.
Lake Almanor
No reports were available but with good weather, anglers
can expect good action to continue from the East shore shallow rocks
from 38 to 45 ft..
