Help with cleaning
local fishing spots

Men and fish are alike. They
both get into trouble when
they open their mouths.

Trout Unlimited
One of the reasons we en-
joy such excellent fishery re-
sources is that we have dedi-
cated volunteers who con-
tribute their time and ener-
gy to help protect and en-
hance our fishery resources.
The Feather River Chapter
of Trout Unlimited is one
such organization. They
have some upcoming events
that you can get involved in.
The Great Sierra River
Cleanup is a weekend event
that brings volunteers from
schools and organizations
from throughout the region
together to make a huge dif-
ference by cleaning up local
waterways.
The Feather River Chapter
of Trout Unlimited will be
working on the Middle Fork
Feather River. You are invit-
ed to join them.in this very
meaningful effort Sept. 17.
Participants are asked to
meet at the Coyote Bar and
Grill parking lot at 8:30 a.m.
Bring a pair of gloves and a
good attitude.
The Feather Chapter of
Trout Unlimited is also co-
hosting the Wild and Scenic
Film Festival with the Feath-
er River Coordinated Re-
source Management (CRM)
group and Plumas Arts. The
festival will be held at the
Town Hall Theatre in Quin-
cy Sept. 21. Doors open at 6
p.m. Pre-sale tickets are
available in Quincy at the
CRM office and at the Mill-
works Care in Graeagle.
For more information on
these events call Cindy No-
ble at 249-0444.
Lake Almanor
The fishing at Almanor is
improving as the water be-
gins to cool. The lake is still
not in a fall pattern but that
isn't far off. In the meantime
continue to fish early and
fish deep.
Mayflies, caddis flies and
damsels are still hatching
but there are indications
that the trout and salmon
are shifting their attention
to the abundant pond smelt.
Red and gold Speedy Shin-
ers are always effective at
Almanor. Try lures and soft
baits in some combination of
silver and/or white and
about an inch and a half long
to imitate the pond smelt.
Baby night crawlers fished
behind flashers or dodgers
40 to 60 feet deep is another
combination. The east shore
continues to fish well and
Big Springs has been im-
proving.
The fishing is not fast and
furious, but persistence will
pay off with fish in the 1- to
4-pound range.
Bucks Lake
The on and offagain koka-
nee fishing has been very
good lately, according to lo-
cal fishing guide Bryan Roc-
cucci of Big Daddy's Guide
Service. (Call Bryan at 283-
4103 or visit bigdaddyfish-
ing.com.)
Bryan has been doing very
well running combination
trout and kokanee trips at
Bucks Lake.
Bryan fishes the Bucks
Creek arm of the lake start-
ing at 20 to 30 feet deep
trolling an Uncle Larry's
Tropical Tiger or a pink Wig-
gle Hoochie behind a dodger.
The hooks are tipped with
Pro Cure scented corn.
Once the sun is on the wa-
ter Bryan fishes deeper, in
the 30- to 35-foot range.
Stream fishing
After an unusually slow
start with high flows and
cold water well into summer,
local streams are finally fish-
ing very nicely. All of the
standard nymph patterns
are working.
In the late afternoons and
evenings there are mayfly,
caddis fly and stone fly
hatches.
There are also plenty of
grasshoppers that are get-
ting blown into the streams
on windy afternoons. Crick-
ets are a great bet for bait an-
glers.
Trout plants
Locally, trout were planted
in the Middle Fork Feather
River near Clio and the
North Fork Feather River
above Caribou Crossroads.
