The Week That Was Last Week's Results and This Week's Prognosis For Immediate Catch and Release

May 4, 2008

Greetings from Lake Cuyamaca: D.F.G. stocked 1,600 lbs of there finest trout last week. These are the aerobatic, energetic trout that are so much fun to catch. The bite for all species has started to pick up. Pump House Cove and Lone Pine providing consistent action for anglers on the shore line. Water remains stained so "scent" will be a must. The Bass are moving up into the shallows for the spawn!! The East Lake is ready with quality trout taking flies. It is open to all anglers. This will not last long!! must have a fishing permit.

*The Parking Lots will be resurfaced this week. Parking will be rotated . Sorry for the incontinence*

Fly Fishing: With water temps warming in the East Lake 61 deg, action on Olive Matukas, Wooly Buggers, and some dry flies. As the water continues to be pumped the area to cover will be in your favor. Its time!!!! The evening bite is best.

Prognosis:!! With the stocking of trout from Mojave DFG, the warming weather conditions has all the fish on the bite. Trolling Rapalas and Yellow Roster Tails getting some action. The pumps are on so Pump House Cove will continue to produce numbers and quality fish. The East Lake is producing quality trout on flies!
