Trout

Are there any trout in Skinner going there end of the month

[jpainter]

Also my son wants to know if we can float tube the lake

[P.A.W.]

Well, the number and size of the trout that were planted this year make it a non-issue. Within 24 hours of a plant the largemouth and stripers had most of them eaten up. And No tubes on the lake.

Don't count out trout at skinner. In the past we have caught holdovers at the buoy line SW dam area on crawlers-about 73 ft mark. Whole crawlers wacky style. Good luck.

Yep. Read back a few years ago before the trout ban, people were catching them in the tules on senkos. In June/July. Goes against all traditional trout fishing techniques, but stranger tales have been told. They used to stock nice 2-3 lbers (the county used the "fishing fee" collected at the gate to buy Mt. Lassens, there were no DFG plants at the time) but I totally believe Pat when he says they're all candy bars for the big mouths nowadays.

Ha, just a couple years ago I was catching nice fat trout in the inlet whitewater on 110 jerkbaits along with stripers. This year they were all 1/2 pounders. I wonder why they even bothered.
