Sports : Fishing report 8/23/06
Bucks Lake Fishing's great! Kids and adults alike are catching fish up in the Mill Creek and Haskins area. Mostly brook trout and rainbow are coming out, with an occasional brown trout. It seems like early morning and late afternoon are the best times to fish. Report courtesy of Bucks Lake Marina, 283- 4243
Lake Almanor Hamilton Branch is worth a try-use nightcrawlers or wooley buggers. The jetties in Prattville are mostly underwater, so try down by the dam with SW 10 Kastmasters or use nightcrawlers with PowerBait. Maybe crickets and mealworm for good-size browns. Trollers are fishing down 10 to 30 feet early morning. There have been reports of trout 3 to 5 pounds on the west side. Try using Uncle Larry's-maybe red/gold speedy shiners. Good reports of salmon being caught by the dam and Hamilton Branch with tails of anchovies.
Steelhead, smallmouth fishing picks up
Anglers have begun looking to harvest summer steelheads on the north Umpqua River, and Smallmouth bass fishing has been steady on the main Umpqua.
Crawfish, crankbaits and worms have been the best bets for anglers on the Umpqua. Sturgeon fishing near the Umpqua Estuary has slowed.
Following is the weekly fishing report, compiled by fisheries and biologists associated with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and posted every Wednesday on its Web site:
SOUTHWEST ZONE
AGATE RESERVOIR: Fishing for largemouth bass and panfish should be good. At Agate, flies, crappie jigs and bait all work for crappie.
ALL SPORTS POND: Fishing for and bass and panfish should be good.
APPLEGATE RESERVOIR: Applegate Reservoir is stocked with rainbow trout.
New Products Make the Fishing Even Better
I found lots of great new products I know you are going to like at the recent ICAST tackle show. Plano's new fly fishing boxes-the 3282, 3283 and the 3284 models-are perfect for storing, organizing and transporting flies. Made from sturdy EVA foam with large non-corrosive zippers, these floating (you'll appreciate this feature if you've ever dropped your fly box in a stream!) boxes are lightweight and virtually indestructible.The interiors of these new Plano boxes feature a high quality foam in both the lid and the base to double the fly storage capacity. The small-sized 3282 box measures 5.5"L x 3.25"W x 2"H; the medium-sized 3283 measures 7"L x 5"W x 2"H; and the large 3284 model measures 8.5"L x 6"W x 2"H. The boxes cost $7.99, $8.99 and $9.99 each. If you've ever broken one of your expensive rods and reels while traveling from one lake to another, you're really going to appreciate Plano's great new 1415 Z Series rod and reel case.
