Don Q's Nevada and Northern California fishing report for July 15 and beyond

Here is this week's fishing report for rivers, lakes and streams in Nevada and Northern California. This report is for the week of July 15, 2015 and beyond.

ALMANOR LAKE, CALIF:
Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association (530-365-7500) (www.shastacascade.com) reports:
The trout have moved deeper and the bite is first thing in the morning.  
Bass fishing has been good all over the lake. Fishing was outstanding early in the week using 6-inch Texas rigged worms in 15 to 20 feet. Topwater action was also fair early and late.

BISHOP CREEK AREA, CALIF:
Rick and Patti Apted - Lake Sabrina Boat Landing (760-873-7425) (www.lakesabrinaboatlanding.com) reports:
Lake Sabrina Boat Landing as of July 12, 2015: Fishing picked up a bit over last week.
Fishing the Inlet with nightcrawlers, Power Bait and Jigs (Sierra Slammers work GREAT!).
Trolling Flashers (like a Dave Davis) and a Nightcrawler, or a Lure with some red on it (like a Red/Gold Thomas Buoyant) or just a Nightcrawler (like a worm) around the shoreline or rock piles.
The fish are down a bit deeper. Lead-core line might be a bit helpful here. Drifting the channels with nightcrawlers or Power Bait.
Shore fishing with Nightcrawlers, Power Bait or lures.
We’ll start out with the BIG catch of the week – Mike Castro of Seal Beach pulled out a HOG, a 6-3/4 Desert Spring Trout Farm Lunker using a Sierra Sandwich (now don’t come asking what that is cuz he wouldn’t tell).
Grandpa Keith White taught ten year old Grady Foust the finer things about fishing or I should say catching as Grady landed his first fish using a Nightcrawler and Power Bait.
All seven year old Noah McClary wanted for his birthday was a trip to Lake Sabrina and that’s what he got along with a nice 1-3/4pounder with his brother Evan, Dad Matt and Uncle Mac.
Nine year old CJ Trujillo with coaching from Dad Cos brought in his first fish ever – all by himself!
Boy Scout Troop 915 was up at the Lake this weekend and Logan Robuck caught a 2-1/2 pounder using a Jig and NightCrawler. Scout leaders Joe Apocado and Jim Bergschneider showed the boys how it was done landing a 2-1/2 pounder and 2-3/4 pounder respectively. Justin Reyes using Garlic Chunky Cheese PowerBait brought in one of the Department of Fish and Wildlife tagged trophy trout – weighing in at 1-3/4pounds.
If you’re planning on releasing your catch, use barbless hooks (or just crimp down the barbs with pliers), avoid extensive handling, wet your hands, net and other materials that may come into contact with the fish, never touch the gills, keep the fish fully submerged and upright, allowing it to swim away under its own power. If it’s bleeding, you’re having fish for dinner.
  
BRIDGEPORT RESERVOIR, CALIF: 
Jim Reid of Ken’s Sporting Goods Store in Bridgeport (760- 932-7707) (www.kenssport.com) reports:
July 12, 2015: Bridgeport has toughened up a bit this past week though if you get out in a boat and either troll or still fish you should be able to get into some nice fish.
The trolling is best in the narrow section near the public marina and on out into the flats towards the South, bait fishing has been best in the Rainbow Point area and in the little coves North of there.
When still fishing it's important to move to a different cove if you spend an hour without any success, keep switching out your baits and trying different colors and depths until you find where the fish are feeding and what they're liking.
Trollers using flashers with needlefish and thomas bouyants or small rapalas.
Bait anglers are using inflated crawlers, mice tails, power bait and power eggs.
            
BRIDGEPORT RESERVOIR, CALIF:
Tom Loe of the Sierra Drifters Guide Service (760-935-4250) (www.sierradrifters.com) reports:
Bridgeport Reservoir 7/14/15
A small boat launch/courtesy dock near the dam will get you on the water.
Tubers should focus on the drop-offs near the dam with Loebergs, crystal leeches, and punk perch patterns. On the warmer days still water nymphing with Assassins, callibaetis nymphs, broken back midges, gillies, and flashback PT’s will get you pull downs with your Under-cator.
10-13 feet should get you into them.
See Jeffery at the marina for flies, and fishing info.

BUCKS LAKE, CALIF:
Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association (530-365-7500) (www.shastacascade.com) reports:
Fishing at the lake for trout has been a little slow, but there has been a wide open Koke bite from 25 to 35 feet.  
They are still only 12 to 13 inches but healthy, thick fish.  
There are still some 2- to 4- pound Macks on Koke gear and you can find 1 to 3 fish up to 18 pounds if you are working for them.

CONVICT LAKE AND CONVICT CREEK, CALIF:
Convict Lake Resort (800-992-2260) (www.convictlake.com) reports: One rig worth trying is a Sierra Slammer Ball & Chain with a three foot leader. The "Convict Lake Special" is a red Ball & Chain with gold flakes.
They were specially made by Sierra Slammers for the Convict Lake Store.
We are the only retailers that have this deadly color in a Ball and Chain jig.
When setting up the rig, I like to use a 3 -3 1/2 foot leader with a size 10 Owner mosquito hook. For a leader I recommend using Berkley's 4 lb Vanish leader. For the weight I'd use a clear bubble, full of water, held in place with a size 10 snap swivel. Make sure to add some attractant.
Cast off the shelves and slowly jig the rig on the return.
Sierra Slammers do slightly float so they have a natural lateral movement in the water when jigging them. 
Catch of the Week:
Michael O'Hearn from Riverside, Calif., with a massive 8 pound 2 ounce Rainbow. He was using Orange Gulp Eggs and was fishing the North Shore. Awesome catch Michael!  
Other notable catches this week:
Robert Simms from Riverside hooked a robust 7 pound 8 ounce Rainbow using a Nightcrawler. He was positioned at the Inlet.
Luke Dato of Agoura Hills with a fat 7 pound 6 ounce lunker. Luke was using a Needlefish while fishing near the Inlet.
Russell Kishimizu from Palos Verdes landed a 6 pound 15 ounce Rainbow while fishing along the South Shore. He was using Yellow Power bait. Jaime Moriguchi from Encino with a Rainbow weighing in at 6 pounds 8 ounces. Jaime was fishing at the Inlet with a Nightcrawler.
Wesley and Sydney Hiroto from Fremont, CA had a great day while fishing in the vicinity of the Inlet. Their stringer had a total weight of 10 pounds 4 ounces and they were using Power bait. 
Tactics/Bait:
Inflated Nightcrawlers, Mice Tails and Power bait had the best success this week.
The top Powerbait color was Yellow.  
Don't forget to add some Lip Ripperz Hatchery Dust or Bite-On Fury Shad to your Power bait for extra fish catching strength.
For the trollers, Tasmanian Devils or Needlefish continued to hook up quality fish. 
In the creek Salmon Eggs and small spinners are your best bet.
The top shore locations on the lake were the North Shore and Inlet area.
Other locations to try: Jetty area, South Shore, the Outlet and Hangman's Tree.
Anglers on boats were having more luck when compared to the shore.
Here is a list of other baits/lures that can be productive: 
Sierra Slammers, Tasmanian Devil, Green or brown Marvel Fly Lures, Trout Teasers, Panther Martin, NeedleFish, Rooster Tails, and Bite-On Fury Shad on Powerbait. I would suggest using some type of added attractant. Pro-Cure, Bait-On, Lip Ripperz and Berkley all make excellent attractants, which are sold at the general store. 
Here is a list of recommended flies: 
Dry Flies:
Adams, Female Adams, Cutter's Caddis, Elk Hair Caddis, Stimulators, Black/Red Ants, Sierra Bright Dot, Royal Coachman and Hoppers. 
Streamers:
Wooly Bugger (black, brown, olive, or green), Mutuka (black, brown, olive, or green), Hornberg, and Muddler Minnows.
Wet Flies (Nymphs):
Prince Nymph, Flashback Pheasant Tail, Hare's Ear, Zebra Midge (red and black), Copper John (red and copper) and San Juan Worm (brown or red).

Sunrise - Sunset: Sunrise this week 5:43 am - 5:47 am and Sunset 8:19 pm - 8:17 pm.
Stocking: DFW is scheduled to stock the creek and lake the week of July 12th. 

CROWLEY LAKE, CALIF:
Tom Loe of the Sierra Drifters Guide Service (760-935-4250) (www.sierradrifters.com) reports:
Crowley Lake: Big cutthroat have moved in to gobble the perch fry in McGee and Hilton.
Sacramento perch fry are now present along the shorelines and weed beds.
The predatory fish really target these larger sources of protein from this point forward in the season.  
If you don’t get bit in Hilton, pull the picks and head to McGee. Both areas can be very good in 16-21 feet. The fish are concentrated in both areas foraging on chironomids that live in the mud just outside the submerged weed lines.  
The lake level continues to come up slowly, & the heavy aquatic weed lines are growing out to 16 feet all over the lake.
Water clarity is very good for July. This due to the lack of run-off from the cattle pastures. Cow dung is a nutrient that feeds the algae (an aquatic plant). The less dung, the less algae.
The damsel fly migration, and emergence has begun big time.  
You will see the nymphs getting pulverized on the surface as a predatory trout aggressively slams the surface.
A variety of midge patterns will work; but these flies have been very consistent for us. Crystal emergers and pupa patterns #18, gillies #18 & 20, crystal tiger midges both dark, and copper #14 through 18 along with their articulated brethren the “broken back midges” #16 and 18.  Try the BB dark zebra, or the long shank crystal zebra midge as your lower fly in deeper water.
Articulated patterns like broken backs work well when you have “texture” from the wind on the surface.
My Under-cator strike detector “slides” if you wish to make it easier for you to fish deeper water.  If you prefer tugging streamers from a tube -use a light sinking tip and have some damsel nymphs, crystal leeches #12, or #16 & 14 punk perch streamer patterns.
Look for those aggressive boils around the weed lines in 14 feet.
These are the predatory trout feeding on the damsel nymphs & small perch fry.

DAVIS LAKE, CALIF:
Don Rotsma of Fly Fish With Don (775-722-8418) (www.flyfishwithdon.comn):
Lake Davis - July 12, 2015
Danger, Danger, Danger: Most lakes are too warm and the fish are on a delicate balance.
Please don't fish if the water temp is over 70 degrees.
Davis and Frenchmans are both very warm and low right now.
There are some lakes and streams that can handle the pressure, but do some research and protect our fishing for next year.

EAGLE LAKE, CALIF:
Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association (530-365-7500) (www.shastacascade.com) reports:
Both trolling and bait fishing worked equally as well.  Troll in 50 to 60 feet of water with five colors of lead core, or anchor in 50 feet of water with a threaded nightcrawler down 25 to 30 feet.

FRENCHMAN RESERVOIR, CALIF:
Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association (530-365-7500) (www.shastacascade.com) reports:
Lake is at 37-percent capacity.
Fishing for shore anglers and trollers has been excellent all week.
Brian Weber of Fremont caught a limit of 18- to 20-inch rainbows near the dam from shore with marshmallow/salmon egg combos and orange Power Bait.
The areas around the boat docks seem to be providing excellent results.

HOT CREEK, CALIF:
Tom Loe of the Sierra Drifters Guide Service (760-935-4250) (www.sierradrifters.com) reports:
Hot Creek 7/14/15
Thanks to the significant rain, flows are up a little.
Some good caddis & micro mayfly activity currently.
Dark bodied, or natural colors for the caddis bodies are the hatch. Light olive to gray for the Mays. Keep them well dressed to ride high in the foam.
Pheasant tails, & bird’s nest patterns are best for nymphs.
Small parachute midge; or mayfly patterns used with a 10 foot leader are best for surface presentations when the fish are on the midges or clusters.
There are a few sections that can be fished with a dry dropper nymph rig.
The hoppers are beginning to show. A stimulator is a good profile for them. Use these in the wind, as the terrestrials get blown off the banks, & the trout hunt for them along the shoreline.
Try my hi-vis caddis pattern, it works well here.
Dead drifted broken back zebras, small gillies, scuds, flashback PT’s, or assassin birds nest bead heads in #18 are good calls for the dropper. Size 18 or smaller crystal olive caddis larva or zebra midges are good calls as droppers.
This is a year around fishery with special regs in place.

KIRMAN LAKE, CALIF:
Jim Reid of Ken’s Sporting Goods Store in Bridgeport (760- 932-7707) (www.kenssport.com) reports: 
July 12, 2015 
Kirman has been very tough this past week, the few reports we've received have not been very encouraging. Anglers are mostly reporting between none and 1 or 2 fish per day. We've heard there are some really nice fish being seen cruising near the surface but it's been tough figuring out what they want to eat.           

ORVILLE LAKE, CALIF:
Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association (530-365-7500) (www.shastacascade.com) reports:
Bass bite has tapered. The lake level is dropping and bass are in a slow, post-spawn mode. A few nice bass can be had with top water lures in the main body of the lake or the middle fork.

OWENS RIVER, CALIF:
Tom Loe of the Sierra Drifters Guide Service (760-935-4250) (www.sierradrifters.com) reports:
Middle Owens River (Bishop area) 7/14/15 
Blue skies returning to the Owens Valley.
Very warm air temps, & warm water.
Caddis activity has slowed; but the micro mayfly hatches have been huge.
Have some #18/20 light bodied adults, light assassins No. 18, and FB pheasant tails for nymphs, No. 18 & 20. Early mornings, and calm late afternoons are very good for dry fly fishing.
Caddis will return when the barometer goes up again.
Use hi-vis caddis No. 16 and 18. Nymphing with crystal olive caddis larva, assassins, and broken back midges are also good when the hatch is off.
Flows are very low (98 CFS) so dry/dropper bead head rigs can be effective in the deeper riffles.
Drift boat trips have been slow, and we are seeing more tiny largemouth bass than trout! The bass have moved up from the lower sections of the river, and migrated through the canals from Buckley Pond into the Owens. Even the wild trout section has numerous bass now.
Prolonged periods of low flows have elevated water temps, & lowered oxygen levels this summer. Not good news for the trout here, and we hope the flows come up soon.
The ticks are horrible here this summer. You need to check your pets, and yourself thoroughly after anytime time in the brush.
There are also some mosquitoes present on the calm mornings.
This fishery remains open year around.
Special regs from the footbridge at Pleasant Valley campground to the fishing monument 4.7 miles downstream.
Upper Owens/ McGee Creek 7/14/15
 Fishing is only fair here. Some planted fish have moved upstream into the deeper pools. Stream bed conditions are much better above the bridge. You can get into a few decent browns on caddis, and last generation BWO adults at times. Stimulators, hi-vis caddis, & natural caddis are good calls for dry flies. Flows are low here (40 CFS) with aquatic weeds an issue in the lower sections below the Benton Crossing Bridge.
If you walk all the way to the lakes inlet, there are some large rainbows working the callibaetis hatch during the calm periods. Not significant numbers; but an adult mayfly pattern could be cast to a rising trophy right now.
McGee Creek proper has some small browns and a few decent rainbows.
Dry dropper rigs, & nymphing with FB PT’s, Assassins, & olive crystal caddis below an Under-cator, or hi-vis caddis or hi-vis para BWO will work.

PAHRANAGAT WILDLIFE REFUGE, LINCOLN COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife (www.ndow.org) reports:
Anglers are finding some success at the upper marsh for panfish and catfish.
Mealworms or night crawlers below a bobber will catch fish.

PLEASANT VALLEY RESERVOIR, CALIF:
Tom Loe of the Sierra Drifters Guide Service (760-935-4250) (www.sierradrifters.com) reports:
Pleasant Valley Reservoir 7/14/15
The lake level is very low (4374′), this will eventually kill off the aquatic weeds in the transition area making for better conditions.
The small river section has been best for numbers of smaller rainbows, & browns-use dry/dropper bead head nymph combos here.
Forget fishing the river, or inlet if the hydro station is ramped up due to hydro power generation which can happen at any time.  
Heavy weeds are now present in the transition section near the inlet, and along the lakes shoreline.
Stimulators, hi-vis para BWO’s, or hi-vis caddis may be used as the upper fly-use crystal olive caddis larva, flashback PT’s, Assassins, broken back or crystal tiger & zebra midges as your dropper bead head nymph.
Tubing  has really picked up from the launch ramp, up to the inlet section.
Streamers like Loebergs, Agent Orange, Crystal leeches, & Spruce-A-Bu’s will get you into some nice browns, & larger bows in the rez proper.
Use a full sinking, or heavy sink tip line to get down 10-15 feet quickly.
You can also fish “Crowley midge style” in the rez near the drop-offs.
Fish chironomid patterns below an Under-cator. Gillies, broken back midges, crystal emergers & pupa patterns. Tiger & zebra midges are always a solid choice for your larva pattern.
This fishery is open year around.
The Gorge as of July 14: Definite alternative if it gets nasty in the high country.
The Gorge could be classified as the true “tailwater” from Crowley Lake.
The fish here are all wild browns with a large one going 16 inches. Moderate/difficult hiking is required to access the more secluded sections.
Watch out for rattlers.
Rock hopping and bush whacking can be expected.
Dry/dropper bead head nymph combos work well in the deeper pools.
Use PT’s, Assassin birds nest, broken back midges, tiger midges, and crystal olive larva patterns as the nymphs. Hi-vis para BWO’s, Stimulators, parachute midge adults, & elk caddis, and hi-vis caddis are good choices for your dry fly.
Pack in water, have cleated wading boots and a stout staff.
2-4wt. rods are perfect for this water.
Snakes may be out early!

PYRAMID LAKE, WASHOE COUNTY, NEV:
Closed

SACRAMENTO RIVER (LOWER), CALIF:
Kirk and Lisa Portocarrero at outdooradventures@sacriverguide.com and www.sacriverguide.com (1-800-670-4448) report:
As of  July 13, 2015 water flow is currently 7,200 CFS and steady.
Lower Sacramento River fishing report -
Lower Sacramento River Rainbow trout fishing is great. Water is clear and low.  Mornings and afternoon trips have been great. 
We are fishing from Bonneyview Bridge to Jellys Ferry Bridge is excellent.  
In early morning, fish are being caught in the shallow choppy waters around the Redding area, and middle of the day fish are moving into the deeper water. 
The largest fish have been caught the last few days in the Bonneyview area. Working great is egg pattern, Cinnamon Pupa , and  PMD’s. Dry flies late afternoon, last hour. We are spin fishing and fly fishing.

SAN JOAQUIN RIVER, CALIF:
Tom Loe of the Sierra Drifters Guide Service (760-935-4250) (www.sierradrifters.com) reports:
San Joaquin River as of July 14. Dry and warm this week. Water conditions are very good.
Campground sections have some small planted fish. The wild trout here are eager to hit most surface imitations in the #14-18 range.  
I like hi-vis para mayflies, Stimulators, and  hi-vis caddis patterns as a point fly.
Tie a two foot dropper off the hook bend and add a blue winged olive or natural caddis adult.  Dry/dry tandems are effective and can really help you see you imitations in riffle water, or shadows.

SHASTA LAKE, CALIF:
Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association (530-365-7500) (www.shastacascade.com) reports:
Remember to fish early and late, as there is a lot of traffic out there now. Rainbow Trout are being caught all around the lake and Salmon are being taken around Hirz Bay in the McCloud arm.  
Spotted and Smallmouth Bass fishing has been off the hook.
Courtesy of Western Outdoor News.

SHASTA LAKE, CALIF:
Kirk and Lisa Portocarrero at outdooradventures@sacriverguide.com and www.sacriverguide.com (1-800-670-4448) report:
July 13, 2015  Shasta Lake guided fishing, Northern California fishing Lake Shasta. 
Offer daily guided fishing on Lake Shasta.
For Shasta Lake fishing, we are catching Rainbow Trout and King salmon, trolling Shasta Lake main body, Rainbow trout fishing is excellent!
Limits of fish daily.
We are fishing 35 to 100 ft deep depending on the time of the day. 
Early morning fish are ranging from 35 to 50 ft deep, Mid day 80 to 100 ft deep using triple teasers and rolling shad.
Picking up one to two Browns a day, also at very deep depths. Bass fishing has been off the hook, red hot.
Lots of numbers off top water, early morning and late afternoon.
Jigs and worms working best during the middle of the day about 20 ft deep. The Pit Arm has been producing 30 fish days around Arbuckle Flat

LAKE TAHOE:
A continuing report of limits of average sized Mackinaw Trout being caught on silver flasher blades and minnows, trolled at depths of 100-300 feet on the west side of the lake near Homewood, Calif.

TWIN LAKES, CALIF:
Jim Reid of Ken’s Sporting Goods Store in Bridgeport (760- 932-7707) (www.kenssport.com) reports:
The Twins are producing some really nice fish lately with some coming in at just over 7 pounds. Trolling has been pretty good with needlefish, thomas bouyants and Rapalas, bait anglers are using mice tails, inflated crawlers and power bait. Fly anglers are having good success with sinking lines and streamers like simi seal leeches, matukas and seal buggers with soft hackle, ap emerger or zug bug droppers.            

VIRGINIA LAKES, CALIF:  
Jim Reid of Ken’s Sporting Goods Store in Bridgeport (760- 932-7707) (www.kenssport.com) reports:
The Virginias are still fishing well with several fish in the 4 to 6 pound class being landed this past week. The weather hindered activity a bit this past week but anglers who toughed out the rain and hail did well.
Bait anglers have been using mice tails and power bait, lure anglers are going with kastmasters, thomas bouyants and Jake's spin a lures. Fly anglers are using simi seal leeches, matukas, mini leeches and seal buggers, soft hackle and zug bug droppers as well as beetles and ants on the surface.    

WALKER LAKE, MINERAL COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife (www.ndow.org) reports:
No new updates. No Lahontan cutthroat have been reported or seen at Walker Lakes since 2009.
Launching is not possible right now.

WALKER RIVER, EAST, CALIF:
Jim Reid of Ken’s Sporting Goods Store in Bridgeport (760- 932-7707) (www.kenssport.com) reports:
East Walker River: As of July 12, the East is flowing at about 60 CFS right now and has been there for 5 or 6 days now.The fishing is pretty tough overall but there are some anglers reporting some nice fish in the 18 to 22 inch range.
The water temps are good and the fish are healthy, the cooler weather and thunderstorms we've been getting the last couple weeks have helped out quite a bit. The best times to fish are in the mornings and evenings with the mid day (from about 11 to 4) being the toughest.
Patterns to try: trico's, flashback emerger, pmd emerger, rainbow warrior, silver streak, san juan worm, miracle midge, mercury midge, zebra midge, white zebra midge, dark lord, copper john, buckskin caddis, fox's poopah, z-wing caddis, black ant, chubby chernobyl, para hopper and stimulator.                    
Sceirine Ranch:
July 12, 2015 
The ranch has fished about the same as the lower Cali section and the Rosachi this past week, most anglers are reporting 2 to 5 fish per half day with most of them being over 17 inches or so.
Add to the list of flies above some stonefly nymphs and you'll be set.            

WALKER RIVER, WEST, CALIF:
Jim Reid of Ken’s Sporting Goods Store in Bridgeport (760- 932-7707) (www.kenssport.com) reports:
The West has been a little high and muddy lately with all the thunderstorms we've been getting, that has made it a bit tough up there.
It looks like the weather has changed to the warmer and less rainy now though so the fishing on the West should improve dramatically.
I'd suggest trying panther martins and mepps spinners for lures, salmon eggs, crawlers and power eggs for bait and for fly anglers go with humpy's, stimulators, ants, hoppers, prince nymphs, pheasant tails and hare's ears.
