    Bishop Creek and South Lake area 20221007-9

    My cousin is a BLM biologist and helped do the restoration work on Lassen Creek, and the subsequent fish surveys. The creek has been doing wellin past years, though Goose lake has been dry for some time. We all need a good winter

    Bishop Creek and South Lake area 20221007-9

    I am not a challenge hunter, but by chance I am close. I grew up in Mendocino/Sonoma area, but family has property up in Modoc. Of all species that I have never caught or targeted, it is the coastal cutthroat. A species I did not grow up far from. I just never fished for them, but I will at some...

    I misspoke: Warner Lakes Redband trout, not Warner Mountains. They are mostly in Oregon, but can be found in Dismal Creek and Twelvemile Creek on the Oregon border

    Goose lake redband pictured, Lassen Creek, Modoc. Not pictured is the most rare Warner Mountain redband, maybe the hardest to find of the California Heritage trout list. I haven't got one of those yet

    On topic of redband trout, I have caught many goose lake redband trout from lassen creek, east of Goose Lake. And the Warner Mountains are my favorite in California, have been fishing up there since I was a child.

    Neat trip, and nice report fish ninja. I fished up there for the first time in July(I am more experienced in the Lassen/Modoc/Northern Sierras), and had great success for golden trout in the Cottonwood lakes basin (highly recommended for a backpacking trip to find golden trout). Then we car...

    Was thinking of Boyd (Pierhead) today...

    I was caught thinking of the person that introduced to me to this site, 20 years ago, Mr. Boyd Grant. I met him while fishing the Goleta Pier, while I was attending UCSB. We had many fun conversations on the pier and shared some nice hookups. Today, I was looking towards Big Sur and recalled...

    New Fisherman in North Coast with a Couple Questions

    Yeah, take a day or two and go to Point Arena. Good fishing, nice small town with enough amenities. I am not a super technical fisherman, I just use size 1/0 hooks, with chunks or strips of squid. Frozen shrimp are good too. You will be sure to find striped surfperch on the pier, and hopefully...

    New Fisherman in North Coast with a Couple Questions

    I am originally from Cloverdale, and as a child, went on many camping trips along the Mendocino, and northern Sonoma Coast. I would suggest places up there like Salt Point State Park (Gerstle Cove Reserve is closed to fishing, but surrounding area is good for rockfishing), and provides nice...
