Hey all, just signed up for the web page. Look forward to gaining access to all the fishing deets from the people. Heading to Lake Almanor this week. Never fished that lake. Doing research and found there are some lunkers in there. any tips would be greatly appreciated. Fishing from kayak and the shore. I see crickets and crawlers are the go to.

Hey that was my home lake for several years,,,you should hit the mouth of Hamilton branch from your kayak or either side of stream close to the mouth up to the bridge from shore,,trout and bass,,,,also top water in the evenings along the Peninsula for small mouth can be awesome right now,,,,,also lots of good spots in the timber along east shore,,,,or in front of dam for salmon,,if you cant troll throw a countdown rapala silver and black or rainbow trout pattern,,or inflated nightcrawlers off bottom,,,also the springs off the peninsula by rec 2 is a great spot for drifting bait,,,,man i miss that place !!!let us know how you do please!!!

Matthewi.....no prob,,,I don't know how familiar you are with almanor,,,,when I say timber at east shore I'm talking stumps under water,,you will see them when in them,,also the springs at rec 2 are straight out from ramp,,,you probably see boats drifting crickets in the area there,,the trout and salmon really turn on in Sept october,,always my favorite time up there but spring is pretty good too,,,good luck bud
