Greetings from Lake Cuyamaca: With the weather changing it has?? been a variable bite. Warm days fast bite, cold days slow bite. The bait dunkers are having the best success. The inventory of trout is in the anglers favor. Its a mixed size stringer with some bigger fish to keep it interesting. (2) tagged Alpers trout are still eluding anglers. Catching a tagged trout will win a certificate for a (1) one night stay in the Cuyamaca Condo's (weekday).??
