HOT BITES ...
AMADOR TROUT … Monster trout are
1 . being caught as the stock plants continue . 1,600 pounds of trout were stocked last week which will keep anglers happy .
SHASTA SPOTS … The bass bite
2 . continues to get better . The best action has been on finesse worms teamed up with both darter heads and shaky heads . Jigs are also producing with the best colors in brown and green pumpkin color .
SOUTH BAY STURGEON … The
3 . sturgeon bite remains good and consistent for both boat and bank anglers . Shrimp baits seem to be the bait of choice .
FOLSOM BASS … Drop shotting , darter
4 . heads , and shaky heads are producing bass in Folsom . The reaction bite is definitely picking up and the fish are in a prespawn pattern
GOOD BETS …
SF BAY … Halibut have moved into the
5 . bay a little earlier than usual and the bite has been really good . Fish up to 18 pounds have been caught recently . The striper action has also been good .

ENGLEBRIGHT TROUT … Both
7 . browns and rainbows are cooperating with boaters . Small Rapala minnow plugs and rigged worms are the most consistent producers .
ROGUE STEELHEAD … Plunking roe
