4Reel Fishing: Lake Sonoma Bass Fishin’ Has Picked Up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How about a change of pace? If you own a kayak, float tube or belly boat, take a run south to the city of Healdsburg. There are a ton of Small Mouth Bass that live in the Russian River, where it is dammed up. Try using a white/silver, or yellow/gold rooster tail, or a fast-moving crankbait (rattle trap). Try fishing areas of rocks and submersed timber, as these areas usually hold fish. Make sure you run your lure through the shady spots. Take long casts and cover a lot of water. Hang on to your
4Reel Fishing: Fishin’ the “Dog days of summer” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey-de-hoe my fellow fishermen! Here is a chuckle for the week. A little kid sat on the sided of the road with a fishing line down in the storm drain. Feeling sorry for him and wanting to humor him a lady gave him 50 cents and kindly asked, “How many have you caught?” The boy replied, “You’re the tenth one this morning.” Blue Lakes – Boo hoo.

Blue Lakes – Boo hoo.Unfortunately, there are still no trout plants scheduled for Blue Lakes. The lake has not been stocked since the beginning of April ?? Although a few nice trout are still being caught at Upper Blue Lake, the anglers I’ve spoken with all shared the same opinion: “It’s really not worth spending an entire day on the water for just a few trout.” So, for now… forget the trout and go bass fishing! The good news is the bass bite has been very good lately. Start your morning with to
4Reel Fishing: Lake Pillsbury, the forgotten fishing gem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ahhhh, Blue Lakes, our summer time escape. This lake is a jewel, even though the trout fishin’ isn’t on fire like it was earlier, it is still pretty fair. The gang that fish from the shore along Hwy. 20 have been catching a few rainbows. By far, the early morning hours is the BEST time to fish. Using Powerbait has been the primary choice of most shoreline trout fishermen. The folks that have had the opportunity to get on the water with a put-put boat have been doing well trolling with an action
