Wow, the guide business has been crazy this year for myself and my guide friends that I work with. I apologize for not keeping my reports up to date. This year the lake has been extremely busy with people being tired of being cooped up this past year and with most people getting their vaccinations, people are getting out boating and fishing. With California now going into its second straight year with low rain fall, the lake is getting low and some ramps have closed up for being to shallow to launch a boat. The ramps in Clear Lake, the Oaks, and in Lakeport are all open as of now. I am doing all of my launching out of the ramps in Lakeport. I expect that we will be able to launch with out any problem through September. Anyone reading this should not get overly concerned but stay on top of the situation as it develops. Currently the fishing has been very good for numbers, catching the bigger fish is certainly a challenge right now, a four pounder is a really good catch at the moment. I have been averaging over 20 fish a trip with some trips over 50.
The tournaments will be backing off now as they usually during the summer months but with the increased activity from everyone wanting to get away, expect a busy lake on any given weekend. In a nut shell, the lake is open, it is at a low point, you need to be careful boating anywhere close to shore to avoid un marked hazards, fishing has to be considered very good, some boat ramps are closed, (lucerne &, Keeling park) others are being monitored, (Redbud in Clear Lake) . The top water bite is happening, lots of weeds showing on the upper end of the lake to work a frog or buzz bait around. It will be an interesting rest of the year for the lake and the availability for boating, just shoot me an email from my website or text me at 707-349-4460 if you want the straight scoop on what's happening, God Bless
