LOS VAQUEROS
Summer Channel Catfish Plants Go Into Reservoir
BYRON – Although trout plants are over until the water cools down this fall , catfish plants are taking place this summer at Los Vaqueros Reservoir , A total of 2,000 pounds of channel cats averaging 1-1 / 2 to 3 pounds have been planted so far this summer , including 1000 pounds on July 8 and 1,000 pounds on July 20 . Despite the plants , fishing for the catfish has been tough , with catfish caught “ here and there ” by shore anglers , reported Carter Troughton at the Los Vaqueros Marina . Your top prospect for the channel catfish is to fish chicken livers or anchovies in the South Cove by the launch ramp . John , an angler from Fresno , topped recent catches by landing a 16.68 pound catfish while fishing an anchovy from shore in South Cove . “ We haven ’ t had any rental boats out for a week , due to high winds on the lake ,” said Troughton . “ On the last day that boats were able to get on the lake , one angler , Anthony , caught his limit of rainbow trout and largemouth bass while fishing

lake between October 2021 and June 2 , 2022 . Due to rising water temperatures , the trout plants have been suspended until the water temperatures cool down in the fall . For trout at this time , anglers should fish Power Bait and Mice Tails near the marina and in South Cove . “ Shore anglers targeting stripers are catching and releasing a lot of undersized fish and a few keepersized fish . The pier near the marina is a popular spot to target them . Anglers are fishing with anchovies and shad ,” he stated . The water temperature is currently 70 degrees . The water clarity has been good except for windy days . If you are looking to rent a boat , it is
always a good idea to call ahead to check current wind conditions . Call the Marina with questions at 925- 371-2628 .
