JENKINSON TROUT/SMALLMOUTH BASS
(Riverton) A break in the weather before the latest round of storms pounded northern California allowed a few intrepid anglers to try their luck up at Ice House Reservoir. Sacramento angler Jason Green, hit the water and saw some action.
“My fishing partner Cheryl and I decided to start the new year with Ice House,” said Green. “We got on the water a little after 7:00 and started toplining worm/dodger combo. It was a real tough bite, with two fish in the morning and two in the afternoon. No one dodger color worked and all fish were caught on a different color.”
Sly Park Lake Resort reported some decent trout action at Jenkinson Lake during the lull between the storms. Shore anglers have had success with rainbows and browns and trollers have seen decent mackinaw action, with a ten pounder coming out in the last week.

Great Places to Fish
Lake Tahoe is known for its mackinaw trout, which run deep and weigh to over 20 lbs. These guys can be tricky to catch, but the fight is worth the effort. Tahoe also boasts of a healthy kokanee salmon population and rainbow trout. The Truckee River is a "Catch and Release," trout fishery. The area is dotted with alpine lakes. Some of the more notable being Stampede Reservoir, Meadow Lake, Donner Lake, Kinney Reservoir, Caples Lake and Loon Lake. All are accessible by car. The Carson River is a fly fishing destination. The Yuba River is big, fast, and deep. There is great fishing but sometimes you have to share the river with the gold miners. Another hot spot is the Lakes Basin area near Graeagle.
