The Chester High School
football team earned its third
shutout of the season with a
30-0 victory at Fall River last
Friday night. This improved
the Volcanoes' record to 7-0.
Chester got on the board

quarter when Rocklin Lot-
anger ran in a 50-yard touch-
down. Not long afterward,
Loranger delivered an 80-
yard punt return to give
Chester a 14-0 lead.
The Volcanoes' next score
came in the second quarter,
when Chris Brown crossed
the goal line from five yards
out.
Omar Pacheo then kicked a
30-yard field goal to give the
Volcanoes a 24-0 lead at half-
time.
Loranger scored his third
touchdown of the game on a
34-yard run late in the third
quarter.
Brown was Chester's lead-
ing rusher, with 14 carries
for 98 yards. Loranger fin-

Fish come and go, but it is the
memory of afternoons on the
stream that endure.
-E. Donnall Thomas
Clearly the seasons are in
transition. Beautiful weather
is back, even if only for a
short time. That is all the
more reason to get out and en-
joy the season.
Two weeks ago, I recom-
mended calling in sick if that
is what it took to get out and
enjoy some fall fishing or
whatever your favorite out-
door activity is.
My publisher gave me an
earful about that suggestion. I
shouldn't be surprised that a
hard-charging businessman
thinks differently about such
things than a semi-retired
part-time employee. (He
doesn't fish. That could be the
problem.)
But I stand by my prinm-
ples. To make the point and
set a good example, I took last
week off. Fishing and hiking
were high on my priority list,
with Almanor, Butt Lake,
Deer Creek and the Feather
River all on the menu.
The d0wnside was that
there was not a fishing col-
umn last week.
Gone fishing. Really.
Lake Almanor
Recent storms have reduced
surface water temperatures,
which should help move Al-
ma nor toward a fall fishing
pattern. Fall fishing can be
awesome at Almanor.

Doug reports very good
fishing around the A-Frame, a
fishing landmark on the east
side of the Almanor Peninsula.
9
Browns, rainbows and
salmon are all being caught in
that area.
There are several springs in
the vicinity of the A-Frame.
Doug says that draws in the
bait fish and the trout and
salmon follow in search of a
meal.
Try fishing anchovy tails
suspended 4 to 6 feet offthe
bottom for salmon. Night
crawlers and mealworms will
entice browns and rainbows.
Doug says that if the bait
balls at the A-Frame are
thick, don't waste your time
mooching, because the fish
are not going to find your nee-
dle in a haystack full of food.
Start trolling outside the
edges of the bait concentra-
tions to find fish lurking in
the area trying to find the bait
halls. Needlefish and Shiners
in nickel, silver or white,
fished no deeper than 35 feet
with a downrigger, will make
for an excellent imitation of
an injured pond smelt.
Doug also suggests fishing
the Hamilton Branch. Both
chutes on the powerhouse are
runnmg. The additional flows
have attracted lots of fish out
in front of the mouth. White
jigs and bait have been effec-
tive, producing some nice
trout in the 3-pound range.
Three- and 4-pound salmon
are around the area as well.
There are large concentra-
tions of pond smelt near the
dam. So naturally there are
lots of hungry trout and
salmon feeding on them.
Trolling pond smelt imita-
tions or jigging with white
jigs will produce results for
patient anglers.
Lake Davis
Fishing has been great late-
ly. Anglers fishing worms or
PowerBait from the shore are
doing well. Needlefish Fire
Tiger or Red Dot Frog and
Dick Nite Copper Red Heads
are all producing for trollers.
The Jay Fair Wiggle Tail
Nymphs have been especially
productive.
Fly anglers are using blood
midge, snails, scud imitations
and woolly buggers.
Last week I reported that lo-
cal guide Jon Baiocchi did
well fly-fishing from shore. He
told me he is continuing to
have great success with dry
flies at Davis.

Frenchman Lake
The nights are getting cold-
er. But the fishing remains
good at Frenchman Lake. On
Saturday, a local fisherman
reported catching a 4-pound
rainbow. (He didn't want to
say just where.) Others have
reported catching their limits
at or near the dam, at Lunker
Point and around Big Cove.
Shore fishing has been
good. Most fishermen are us-
ing night crawlers along with
marshmallows or salmon
eggs. Some of the lures that
are catching fish are Dick
Nites, Rooster Tails, Kastmas-
ters, Tasmanian Devils and
Rocky Mountain Assassins.
Trolling has been good at
the north end of the lake, and
around Big Cove. Some fisher-
men have had luck around
the dam and to the east of the
dam.
Be sure to cIll ahead for
current information: 993-4683.
Stream fishing
Accordingto Tom Mau-
moynier of Lake Almanor Fly
Fishing Company in Chester
(258-3994) the Susan River is
fishing well. Nymphs are the
ticket although there is some
dry action in the evening.
Tom also reports the fishing
is good on the North Fork
Feather River above town
with good dry fly action, in-
cluding the big orange Octo-
ber caddis in the evenings.
Warner Creek is fishing
well with good dry fly action
in the evening.
Deer Creek and Mill Creek
are also fishing well. Try stan-
dard nymphs during the day
and dry flies in the evening.
Yellow Creek in Humbug
Valley is the one local stream
that has been slow lately. But
then I have never found this
to be a particularly easy
stream to fish, at least in the
meadow section. Try fishing
hopper patterns on a warm
day. If there is a bit of a
breeze, there should be
grasshoppers getting blown
into the water.
Trout plants
There were no trout plants
in Plumas County the past
two weeks. (What is up with
that?)
