SHAVER/HUNTINGTON — The June 13 Greg Marks Youth Fishing Derby at Shaver took place on Saturday, and volunteers from the Shaver Lake Trophy Trout Project. Dick Nichols of Mountain Tackle said, “With the water level finally cresting, the kokanee bite continues to improve. I fished with a friend on Friday and found the first three hours slow with only three hookups, but around 9:30 am, we moved into another area and found a good school at 29 feet in depth using pink Dick’s Mountain Tubes pink Koke Busters in pink, or Doom Mountain Hoochies tipped with corn behind D-MAC and Super Dave Mountain Dodgers ending up with 10 third-year kokanee, releasing a number of 2nd-year fish. Huntington continues to produce a smaller grade of kokanee and rainbow trout from the surface to 20 feet with small spinners or spoons. Easy limits have been the rule. Shaver dropped from 92 to 89 with Huntington basically holding at 96%. The next meeting of the Shaver Lake Trophy Trout Project is July 11 at 10:00 am in Room 44 at Sierra High School at 33326 Tollhouse Rod in Tollhouse. The public is welcome to attend. The Department of Fish and Wildlife is scheduled to release 62,200 kokanee fry into Shaver Lake. 

DELTA, Sacramento side — There are striped bass in the California Delta, and most of the linesides are found in the northern portion of the system where the water is cooler. Alan Fong of Alan Fong Outdoors said, “The stripers are holding in the shallows along flats and weed beds in 2 to 4 feet of water as they are feeding on crawdads. Red chatterbaits have been the best lure, and the chatterbaits are also working for largemouth bass as we put together a 24-pound limit. The urchin-style baits are also working for bass.” There is a topwater bite for stripers in the Old Sacramento River out of Vieira’s Resort. A variety of offerings are working for largemouth bass including chatterbaits, frogs, plastics on the drop-shot, jigs, or Senkos are working for numbers while the larger fish are found further offshore with buzzbaits or frogs. The frog bite should be picking up with the heat wave as the fish are posting up around cover. Catch-and-release sturgeon fishing ends on June 30 before reopening on October 1.
