Winter Greetings from Lake Cuyamaca: Even with unstable weather conditions last week the trout bite remained steady for the bait dunkers. Success has been with night crawler/power bait combo. Trolling with Rapalas and Panther Martins providing some action. Use scent for the advantage due to stained water conditions.

Free Fishing Class Saturday at 10:AM: Ranger Willard will teach cold water Trout tactics ..

Prognosis:!! Weather conditions for the next week could slow down the bite. The inventory of trout in the lake is in the anglers favor. Use bait with scent close to shore, give it some slow action every few minutes. Trolling with Rapala's or Panther Martins (use scent) will provide some results with patience. Water temp 44-48 deg.

Winter Greetings from Lake Cuyamaca: DFG stocked 3,000 lbs of trout from the Fillmore hatchery last week along with 1,300 lbs from Mojave to add to the inventory. These were a mixed size loads with some nice keepers. The bait bite is steady for trout. Some action trolling out of the wind. Use scent as the inflow of water and high winds has visibility very poor. !!!!! Junior Water Fowl Hunt is Saturday February 7, 2009....... Read More
