Tom Mailey of Get The Net Fishing Guide Service reported in with solid results from a recent outing on Lake Amador, hooking four out of six trout including a lightning trout and a cutbow hybrid. “4 for 6 at Amador with a lightning trout and a cut bow mixed in. Wasn’t lights out but getting better for sure,” Mailey noted.

Anglers trolled at speeds of 2.2 to 2.7 mph, using a mix of lures for top notch results. Two fish hit on a chrome Hot Shot at 15 feet over the side, including a big one lost right at the boat. Two more came on a bright red Speedy Shiner top-lined 175 feet back, while the fourth fell for a frog pattern Speedy at about 15 feet over the side. Three of the four trout struck in front of the Rock Creek arm, with the last coming from the main body.

Trout action is clearly on the upswing here. Bundle up and hit the water before the bite heats up even more.
