Finally the fever broke and the lake temp. has dropped to 73 degrees. So we will stock our first 1000 lbs of Mt. Lassen's Sierra 'Bows on Wed. October 26th. Looking back at several years of fish reports find that the trout anglers also catch a fair amount of cats. Bass anglers also know that the bass move to the points often with fish of similar size. So if you catch 1's or 2's you should move to locate the 3's and 4's. We have had several reports this weekend of anglers catching and releasing 7 to 10 bass in the 3, 4 and 5 lb. class. The bass are hanging in 25' to 35' on the weedline.

Best Cat Spots: Cloister Cove ( \Bird trees), and south side of the buoyline.

Best Cat Bait: Mackerel and chicken livers. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: The west side of Sentry and Eagle Point also the riprap that parallels the launch ramp.

Best Bass Lures/Bait: Ikas, Dropshotting Arron's Magic or Morning Dawn 7" worms.

Water Temp: 73 degrees on surface

Prognosis: Our first trout stocking is October 26th . We will stock every week for the next 23 weeks. Don't forget about our bass and cats. This in my opinion is prime time for those species.
