Calaveras Lake

GREAT. Water stained; 78 degrees. Water levels are about 1 foot low and slightly stained. Redfish action is fair, with fish in the 5-10 pound range being caught on rattletraps in a variety of colors, using both trolling and casting techniques. Channel and blue catfish are being caught throughout the lake in 5-10 feet of water on shrimp and shad, as well as a variety of punch baits available at local tackle shops. Striper and black bass activity remains slow. Report by Manny Martinez, Fishing With Manny.
