Leaving tomorrow early morn for my annual fishing trip to the Mt Lassen area. Lots of creeks, rivers, and lakes to explore and catch brown, brookies, and rainbows.
Last years fire that went through the surrounding areas of Old Station opened up lots of areas to fish Hat Creek. Last I heard, the DFG is heavily planting trout in every place possible hoping to get more people to come, because everyone thinks the fire destroyed too much and they won't go to fish the area. NOT TRUE ! Hat Creek runs 365 days a year because it is all spring fed, and it has many places to fish with limits easily possible. The DFG is even planting lots of broodstock!
There's a few places there I can catch and release 20 rainbows in 2 hours, all 1.5 - 2 lbs apiece.
I'm not promoting the area, I just love it up there......even though it is a 10 hour drive to get there, and I also have a nice place to stay for free! (relatives).
I'll be sure to post my report after returning.
TTFM
