Don Q's Nevada and Northern California fishing report for June 11-17

Here is this week's fishing report for rivers, lakes and streams in Nevada, northern California and the Sierra. This report is for the week of June 11, 2014.

BISHOP CREEK AREA, CALIF:
Rick and Patti Apted - Lake Sabrina Boat Landing (760-873-7425) (www.lakesabrinaboatlanding.com) reports:
Lake Sabrina: The Lake is still on the rise – coming up about a foot a day, but alas, the snow is disappearing quite rapidly – may only have a couple of weeks of run-off left – it is what it is and we’re happy for what we have!
Catching was back on track, although, at times the DingleBerry Inlet was off and on. Some used Nightcrawlers and Power Bait, while others threw lures and jigs – some caught fish other didn’t – that’s fishing, but all enjoyed their time at the Lake.
Trolling picked up for dragging Nightcrawlers or lures around the shoreline.
Nightcrawlers, Power Bait and lures worked for those sitting on shore being thankful for a day on the Lake.
Tim Carnahan had the right combination picking up a 2-2/3 pounder and a 3-1/3 pounder trolling the waters with Sierra Slammers on two different days.
Molly Featheringill and son Lance Aubery, both, pulling out limits two days in a row using Thomas Buoyants.
Thanks again to DFW for the stocking on Monday. Temps are expected to be in the mid 70s and in the high 30s. 
You can also check out www.weather.gov – enter Aspendell, CA (which is the little community right below Lake Sabrina) in the search field and you’ll get the forecast for the higher elevation or take a look at Howard Sheckter, our local weather ‘guesser’ report at www.MammothWeather.com. 

BISHOP CREEK AREA, CALIF:
Jared Smith - Parchers Resort (760-873-4177) (sierrasmitty@cebridge.net):
Summary & Trail Report: High country weather just doesn't get much better than it has been this week with daytime highs around the 70 degree mark and evening lows in the 40's. A few scattered raindrops managed to find their way to the ground but very few, mostly just puffy clouds floating by.
Trail conditions are really improving fast with reports of folks getting over both Piute Pass & Bishop Pass this week.
Still a lot of snow on our side of Bishop Pass but people are making it over. Piute Pass has considerably less snow.
Dusy Basin still has snow banks but the trail is navigable.
Humphrey's basin has melted out to large degree.
The Tyee Lakes are all open now with mostly clear conditions and only patchy snow.
Folks also made it up to the Treasure Lakes this week and reported fair trail conditions and the lower lakes are thawing or thawed.
Backcountry Wild Trout fishing has been reported to be excellent with spring spawning Rainbows gathering at inlet areas and wild Brook Trout aggressively feeding after the spring thaw.
Bishop Creek South Fork
The always excellent fishing was complimented by another week of excellent catching to go along with it. Chunky Rainbows to 14" were caught by most of the folks who tried the stream this week.
The So. Fork is still running high but it hasn't seemed to put a damper on the fishing at all. Pink Powerbait, Thomas Cyclones, and Berkley Mice Tails in Pink./White were reported to be the top producers.
Weir Pond
Pretty much the same report as the last few weeks -great fishing for those with waders - both fly and ultralight spin.
North Lake
Limit style fishing again this week. Nothing large reported but plenty of full stringers. The usual suspects were working here, Thomas Buoyants, various colors of Powerbait, Berkley Mice Tails, mini-jigs and wooly buggers.
Intake II
The early bird gets the worm...or in this case the early angler gets the hot spot at Intake. The best reports came from folks arriving early in the morning or late in the day to snag the prime spots on Intake II, most notably the northeast corner, the pipe and the dam. Some good reports from the shallower areas near the launch.
Lake Sabrina
Some folks reported wide open fishing at Sabrina this week while others struggled. Mini-jigs, nightcrawlers under a bobber, Kastmasters and Thomas Buoyants were reported to be working best.
Best fish of the week reported here at Parchers were a 2lb 4oz caught on an SS mini-jig and a 3lb 12oz Brooder caught by Tim Carnahan of Sky Valley, CA on a King Crimson Sierra Slammer worm fished on a jighead.
South Lake
A few hearty folks are still hiking down to the lake or hiking their float tube down to the water but not many are scoring more than a few smaller model Brookies, 'Bows or Browns.
Dam releases from South Lake are still high and the reservoir level is staying more or less flat. We don't expect any change until next spring.

BRIDGEPORT RESERVOIR, CALIF:
Jim Reid of Ken’s Sporting Goods Store in Bridgeport (760- 932-7707)
www.kenssport.com) reports:
Bridgeport is still on fire! The trollers are doing well with small rapalas, blades/crawlers and thomas bouyants. Bait anglers are doing great over near Rainbow Point with mice tails, crawlers and power bait.
Haven't heard much from the fly anglers this week but you should be able to turn some fish with small midges like zebra midges, red-headed stepchild, soft hackles and damsel patterns.  

BRIDGEPORT RESERVOIR, CALIF:
Kent Rianda of The Trout Fly and Troutfitter (760-934-2517) (www.thetroutfitter.com) reports:
Water conditions:
Very Low Water.
Fishing conditions:
Despite low water the fishing has picked up considerably.
Don't be afraid to fish water 4-6 ft deep.

CHETCO RIVER, ORE:
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (800-720-ODWF) (www.dfw.state.or.us.com) reports:
June is an excellent month to fish the river for cutthroat.
Anglers can easily access the river at one of the many gravel bars.

CONVICT LAKE AND CONVICT CREEK, CALIF:
Convict Lake Resort (800-992-2260) (www.convictlake.com) reports:
It was a great week of fishing at Convict Lake.
By far the hottest week of the 2014 fishing season. 
It started out with 3 and 4 pounders being weighted-in at the general store and continue throughout the week. A few dozen lunkers were brought into the store by week's end. I want to thank all the folks who bring in their fish to be photographed and tell their story of how it was caught. This fishing report would not be possible without all of you. To see view these fish photos visit our 2014 Fishing Gallery.    
Don't miss out and come join the fun by participating in the Round-Up at the Lake Fishing Derby. Last chance to win $6,000 in Resort Prizes is June 12th. Hangman's Bonus Cash Weekend is going on right now, June 6-8. $2000 in cash prizes. As of Saturday morning there has been one tag fish caught. I'll be posting the results to the derby in the upcoming week.
Catch of the Week:
Congratulations to Harley Wallace from El Cajon, CA with a beauty landed along the north side of the Inlet. He was using a Power Worm when he hooked his 6 pound 1 ounce rainbow. Way to go, Harley!
The entire Wallace clan were hooking up left and right! They caught around ten rainbows ranging from 3.13 to 4.11 pounds plus the largest fish of the week. Gerritt and Glen with a 3 pound 13 ounce, 3 pound 9 ounce and 4 pound 8 ounce landed by the Inlet on Power Worms. Gerritt also caught one the tagged derby cash fish.
Other notable catches this week:
Jeff Lococo, Jeff Rollins and Anthony Poyner from San Diego, CA with 5 nice rainbows caught at the Inlet. They were using rainbow Kastmasters when they scored their quintet. The three largest rainbows were 4 pound 9 ounce, 5 pound 6 ounce and 5 pound 8 ounce.
Vil Chanthavisouk from Fresno, CA hooked a 4 pound and 7 ounce rainbow. Vil was using garlic Power bait and was fishing at the South Shore. 
John Quam with an excellent catch while fishing at the South Shore. John landed a 4 pound 7 ounce rainbow using a Silver Kastmaster.
Christine Villapando from Victorville, CA representing for the lady anglers. Christine's fish was a beautiful 4 pound 8 ounce rainbow caught at the South Shore with a Berkley Mice Tail.
Madelyn McLeran of Fullerton, CA caught a nice 14 inch rainbow from the creek. She was using a Salmon Eggs. Way to go...Madleyn!
Tactics/Bait:
Same as last week, one of the hottest lures was a Power Worms or Mice Tails. I suggest going with pink, red or orange colors. Set up your rig with a large clear bubble, about a three foot leader and a single hook.
I like using a Owner Mosquito Hook in either a size 8 or 6.
Kastmasters were also knocking them dead out at the lake. Rainbow and silver colors produced some quality fish.
 In the creek use Salmon Eggs and give small spinners like a Panther Martins a try. The most successful Power bait colors were peach and yellow.
The Inlet, North and South Shore were the hottest spots this week.
Other locations fishing well were the Jetty and Hangman's Tree. 
Here is a list of other baits/lures that can be productive:
Sierra Slammers, Tasmanian Devil, Green or brown Marvel Fly Lures, Trout Teasers, Panther Martin, Needlefish, Rooster Tails, and Bite-on Fury Shad or Lip Ripperz Hatchery Dust on Power bait.
Here is a list of recommended flies: 
Dry Flies:
Adams, Female Adams, Cutter's Caddis, Elk Hair Caddis, Stimulators, Black/Red Ants, Sierra Bright Dot, Royal Coachman and Hoppers. 
Streamers:
Wooly Bugger (black, brown, olive, or green), Mutuka (black, brown, olive, or green), Hornberg, and Muddler Minnows.
 Wet Flies (Nymphs):
Prince Nymph, Flashback Pheasant Tail, Hare's Ear, Zebra Midge (red and black), Copper John (red and copper) and San Juan Worm (brown or red).
Weather:  Next week's forecast looks to be another beautiful summer week in the High Sierra. Highs are going to be in the mid 70's and the lows in the highs 40's. There will be chances of thunderstorms throughout the week. Here is the National Weather Service link that is usually quite accurate: 7-Day Forecast Convict Lake.
Sunrise - Sunset: Sunrise this week 5:35 am - 5:34 am and Sunset 8:15 pm - 8:18pm.

Tom Loe of the Sierra Drifters Guide Service (760-935-4250) (www.sierradrifters.com) reports:
Howdy friends from beautiful Eagle Lake CA where I am guiding all of June. Having some fun up here catching the hard pulling rainbows that are native to the lake.

EAGLE VALLEY RESERVOIR, LINCOLN COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife (www.ndow.org) reports:
Fishing continues to be good for rainbow, brown and tiger trout.
The fish are taking Mepps spinners in red, gold or silver colors, as well as orange Power Bait.
This past week a four-pound largemouth bass came out of the lake. The park is requesting that anglers please practice catch and release with the largemouth bass as these fish are not stocked in the lake but are there through natural reproduction.

Fishing has been very good for some anglers.
Crappie are being caught in most areas of the lake, but are more prevalent in the canyon area.
Rainbow trout are taking orange Power Bait and small lures, especially along the dam.
Law enforcement officers are finding some people with too many fish and issuing citations for the violation.
Be sure to check the limit before fishing any Nevada water.
By definition, a limit includes fish you have in possession, including those in your cooler back at camp as well as those in your refrigerator or freezer at home. Nevada does not have a daily limit, only a limit.

HOT CREEK, CALIF:
Steve Osterman of Performance Guide Service (760-934-6101) (www.performanceanglers.com) reports:
Water flow is  up to 18 CFS. Dry fly fishing is  tough on the sunny days and better with some cloud cover. Sparkle dun's and para Adams. Nymph fishing is the best bet. Try WD-40's, green rock worms and scuds.

HOT CREEK, CALIF:
Kent Rianda of The Trout Fly and Troutfitter (760-934-2517) (www.thetroutfitter.com) reports:
Water conditions:
Flows at 28 CFS as of 6/6. Water is clear.
(Note flows include water from the springs, not just the gauging station at the highway so this is what is really flowing through the canyon)
Fishing conditions:
Midges early with BWO’s midday, and caddis pupa/larvae/adults in the afternoon.  Scuds should do well all day.
Fishing between the weed lines and the deeper water.
Well the weeds have taken over making it difficult to nymph all but the deepest pools. Stick to a dry dropper in the shallower water and nymph the deeper pools. Flipped over some rocks and found tons of scuds so make sure you try them.

JIGGS / ZUNINO RESERVOIR, ELKO COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife (www.ndow.org) reports:
Unfortunately, Jiggs has dried up.

June 08, 2014
Kirman is still hanging in there as well, mostly leech patterns like seal buggers and mini leeches, as well as dainty damsels and stillwater nymphs have been working. Drop a soft hackle of ap emerger off the back for added success. We've also been getting some good reports from anglers using scud patterns like flashback scud, orange scud or green scud.      

LAUGHTON, CLARK COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife (www.ndow.org) reports:
Colorado River:
Action has slowed on this stretch of the river, but anglers who make it out are still catching fish.
Most of the striped bass are between one to three pounds with a few near ten pounds in the mix.
Anchovies have been the top bait of choice, but other top-water reaction baits are also drawing strikes from the stripers.

It’s been a relatively quiet week on the lake, with rising daytime temperatures an obvious factor.
Those anglers making it out have found fair success. The best time for netting shad has been the early morning hours before sunrise. Stripers are generally in the one- to three-pound range. Smallmouth and largemouth bass have been providing anglers with good fishing north of Callville Bay.

LAKE MOHAVE, CLARK COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife (www.ndow.org) reports:
The action for smallmouth bass remains good, with anglers fishing from shore even having moderate success. The various coves with established habitat structures are often well populated with fish and nightcrawlers and plastics are drawing bites.
Catfish have been very active at night and are hitting on anchovies, hot dogs or stink baits in the backs of coves.

OREGON PACIFIC OCEAN AND BEACHES, ORE:
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (800-720-ODWF) (www.dfw.state.or.us.com) reports:
Recreational Dungeness crabbing is open in the ocean.
Fishing for bottom fish including rockfish, and lingcod is now closed outside of the 30-fathom curve until the end of September.

The flow on the East was bumped up to 71 CFS yesterday, the fishing has been a little tough but if you keep at it you should be able to bag some fish.
