Lake Conditions, Fishing Report: It was a beautiful morning on the lake with the love of my life, my wife Tary. The lake is in great condition, slightly over the full level at 7.67. Water clarity is getting better everyday with the water temperature getting up to 58 in the afternoons. The fishing, catching has shifted from the live view, find them, and use a hover style bait and watch them eat it, to throwing the big glide baits, swimbaits, and focusing on the mouths of all the creek channels where the bass are holding to eat the native fish, the hitch, that are spawning up the channels. (no they are not extinct)
This lake is amazing, starting last year and continuing into this year I have seen more big fish caught in the 9 to ten pound range since 2007 when in the Bass Master Elite tournament it took a 122 lbs to win for 15 fish, slightly over an 8lb average. Recent tournaments here have been won in the 36 lb range for five fish and catching a ten pounder is no surprise. This next month will be nothing short of phenomenal as the big fish stage to get ready for their spawn. Considering the pressure this lake gets, its amazing that it has rebounded as it has with not only lots of big fish but also a great population of smaller fish.
To top all of this off, a catch yesterday of a 15.92 lb fish by professional angler & lure maker Gary Collins has taken the bar even higher, its truly a world class fishery. Be safe, have fun, be courteous, God Bless 2/28/25

The anglers that are using the live imaging sonar and shaking a minnow style hover bait are catching some trophy size fish. Some bigger fish are starting to move shallow, this one came in five feet of water. 1/30/25

Got out on the lake for a few hours this morning before the strong winds. My Son Robert landed a nice one on a chatterbait and the other one hit a jig. Enjoyed the time together, God Bless, 1/25/25

LAKE & Fishing Overview: After about three months off I got our on the lake with my Guide Buddy Jeremy Taylor. We fished the upper end of the lake and caught several fish but no giants. With no rain this month, the lake clarity was decent and the lake level is actually higher at this time than it was last year (6.08 ft). A big storm in the first week of February last year put us over the top and hopefully we will reach the full level once again. (7.52ft) The months of March & April will find tournaments on every weekend, so if you want to avoid the traffic, come during the week.
This past year found the quality and quanity of fish being caught as one of the best years in a long time. I have guided on this lake going on 22 years now and its been many years ago that I saw it fishing like it is now. I fully expect that this year will be great if not even better than last year. With another invasive mussel recently found in the delta waters its imperative and mandatory that all boat owners launching on Clear Lake have their boats screened and the Appropriate launch stickers on their boats.
Be Safe, Be courteous, Have fun, God Bless

First time on the lake in about a month, I took the time off to help my beautiful wife Tary recuperate from a partial knee replacement surgery. It was much more painful than she, we, anticipated but she has turned the corner now and is getting much better. In regards to the fishing, I found it slow today and caught nothing big, the lake will be hit hard with around 200 fisherman in a champion ship tournament starting tomorrow, 9/20 and finishing up on Sunday, 9/23. That will be followed up by another three day champion ship tournament the next weekend 9/27 to 9/29. The first weekend in October will also see another tournament. This is the time of the year that the lake, fish, get hit hard, you need to fish during the week if you can to avoid a very busy lake. Be safe, enjoy, God Bless

Out with the wife, watching a crop duster, and fishing

Finally took a break from guiding and got my wife out for some time on the lake and got to watch an areial display while fishing. It was a nice relaxing morning.

Thank God for the Fire Fighters,

We are now in day 10 of our lock down in a fire evacuation zone. In the past several days we have witnessed and incredible display of air power that has fought what has now become the largest wildfire in Ca. history, 283,800 acres and still growing. A series of about six helicopters flew over our house yesterday dropping down into the lake and then back up to the mountain ridge behind our house to prevent the fire that is raging on the other side of coming over the top and down into Nice where we live. It was an all out blitz that went on for well over two hours with drop after drop. Currently as of today, the North Shore communities of Clear Lake are still in mandatory evacuation status. We lost power for about 8 hours yesterday as they attempt to repair lines, etc. The cities of Clear Lake, Kelseyville and Lakeport are all open for business. Highway 20 is open from Williams to the junction of 53, Highway 29 is open to the Junction of 20 and then on West to Ukiah. We are doing ok, still glad we did not evacuate even though we are running out of some things. 3908 personnel, 441 engines, 85 dozers, 15 helicopters, 93 water tenders and 62 hand crews, what an amazing effort by cal fire and their fire fighters. The ranch fire which is the one effecting us is currently 21 percent contained and is primarily moving North and East of Clear Lake. Air quality is considered hazardous, I expect we may be in for at least another day or two of being locked down here in Nice and before the North shore communities are allowed to re populate. I will post a couple of videos that I took, not real well done but show the work these amazing pilots of these helicopters are doing.

Amazing work by Helicopter Pilots Fighting the largest wildland fire in Ca. history

Helicopters working the Ranch fire In Nice Ca. This is the 10th day of our lock down in the evacuation zone.

Beautiful Lake County Ca.

I finally made the hike to the top of Mt Konocti. A beautiful view of the lake that I fish and the area we live in. It was neat to have my wife signal me with a mirror from about 15 miles away and I was able to see it. We re enacted what a pioneer woman that use to live on the mountain would do to let her daughter who lived in town several miles away, that she was okay. It was a tough hike but I am glad I did it. 1/29/15
