Lake Camanche

By Eldon Porray, Camanche Recreation Company

Lake Camanche’s current elevation is 232 feet above sea level. The inflow from Lake Pardee is currently at 1456 c.f.s. The outflow from Lake Camanche is currently 879 c.f.s. The lake is 94 percent full and the water temperature is 84 degrees.
Trout: With the holiday weekend, there were few reports from fishermen. On July 3, Scott Millard from Stockton brought in a nice 3.8-pound trout. The trout trolling is still good if you go early or late in the day. Try the dam area and the Hat Islands. Rapala lures and Ex-Cel lures both work very well. Bait fishermen report that mill worms and nightcrawlers are still catching trout. We did have an eight-year-old, Everest Campos, fishing the lake from both the shore and a boat. He had a good day, catching three trout.

Bass: Bass fishermen reported catching limits of bass near the dam and the Narrows. They were using top water baits in the early morning and switched to plastic worms as in green pumpkin as the day went on. They said the bass were in about 20-25 feet of water. On July 2, Joe Nordone caught a 3.5-pound bass from the lake on a rubber worm.

Catfish: The catfish bite is still doing very well. Most seem to be caught after dark. Chicken liver, nightcrawler and sardines seem to be the choice bait. On July 3, Alton and Janet Dean came in and weighed an eight-pound catfish caught with a nightcrawler.

Note: As of June 9, East Bay Municipal Utilities District no longer permits any live bait (minnows, crawdads, frogs, etc.) to enter the water of Lake Camanche or any other lakes operated by EBMUD. Lake Camanche will no longer be selling any live minnows at the marina.

Action here could not get any better. The lake is currently holding 1,418,412 acre-feet of water. The water level rose one foot this week, and is at 993 feet above sea level and 94 feet from full capacity. Water temperature is about 70-76 degrees at the surface. Beware of floating debris and unmarked island tops. It seems the Kokanee bite is on fire throughout the lake. Clients caught limits of the fiesty kokes in the area of spillway, in Carson Cove and near the Highway 49 bridge this past week. Depth remains constant 27 feet before the sun shines on the water and 35 feet under a bright sun. Surface water temp is rising to 76 degrees and the waters clarity remains good at 4-5 feet. Presentations that are working for me this past week include Glitterbug Hoochies, Vances' Sockeye Slammers, Uncle Larry's Spinners and Shasta's Pee-Wee Hoochies in tandem with Crystal Basin "Wildthing" dodgers in either pink or green, Vance's pink Butt dodgers and Slingblades in Watermelon pink or green. Remember when fishing Hoochies the leader should be no longer than eight inches.

Scent pattern that is producing for me, Pautzke's Fire corn in pink with an added hint of Pautzkes Liquid Krill, Shoepeg scented corn in flavors of Vanilla, Garlic, Plain, and fresh water Shrimp. Rainbow trout are on an excellent bite early at depths from 15 to 19 feet, hitting on a candy cane Apex. Don Escalleir from Twain Harte landed a beautiful rainbow on Wednesday that topped the scale at 3.2 pounds.

The Fourth of July weekend was busy for tourists and fellow fishermen. The fishing was hit and miss depending on where you were fishing.

Spicer Reservoir was an excellent weekend for trollers. The fish have moved from the upper 10 feet and are now between 15 and 30 feet, depending on what time you start. The lure fishermen have been doing well with are Panther Martin spinners, Rooster Tails, Blue Fox spinners, flies on a bubble and Kastmaster. Fly fishermen should try woolly buggers, ants, caddis and bead head nymphs. The fish have been loaded with ants and assorted flies. Bait fishermen should try Gulp Eggs, Gulp Nightcrawlers, Garlic and Salmon Egg scented Power Bait, inflated nightcrawlers and floating Power Eggs using a cast-a-bubble with 24 to 30 inches leader or a sliding sinker rig. Trollers should try Apex, Needlefish, Wedding Rings, Glitter-Bugs, Rapala’s, Ex-Cell spoons and Rocky Mountain Lures behind a small dodger, Wild Thing dodger, or the new Glitter Bug dodger, tipped either with a nightcrawler, Gulp Nightcrawler, Gulp maggots, and Power Minnows. You can also try using a dodger trailed with the nightcrawler.

Lake Alpine was good but not great this past weekend. A five-pound beautiful rainbow was caught by one of our customers, Jim Black, this past weekend. Bait casters should try inflated nightcrawlers, Gulp Eggs, the new Garlic and Salmon Egg scented Power Bait and Gulp Power Bait, Floating Power Eggs and Power Bait on a 24 to 30-inch leader. Fly fishermen should try wooly buggers, ants and sparrow nymphs on an intermediate sink line. Lure fishermen should try Panther’s Martin’s Rooster Tails, Blue Fox Spinners, Kastmasters, and Thomas Buoyant. Trollers should try using the new Glitter Bug dodgers, and Wild Things by Crystal Basin Lures, with a new Glitter Bug Hoochie, Wedding Rings, Apex, Needlefish, Ex-Cell Spoons, and Rocky Mountain Hoochies and Spoons behind a small dodger tipped with either nightcrawler, Gulp Nightcrawler, Gulp Maggots or Power Minnows.
White Pines Lake near Arnold was still the hot spot over the weekend with the Calaveras Fish and Game Commission planting more than 1,300 pounds of fish. The Department of Fish and Game will be planting White Pines Lake again this week. Bait fishermen should try floating Power Eggs, Gulp Eggs, new Salmon Egg scented power bait, new Garlic scented Power Bait, Gulp Power Bait, Gulp Nightcrawlers, salmon eggs and nightcrawlers, using a cast-a-bubble 30 inches leader or a sliding sinker rig. Fly fishermen should try bead head woolly buggers, ants, blue wing olive, adams, simulators, and sparrow nymphs on an intermediate line or try using a small split shot to get down to the fish. Lure fishermen have been using Panther Martin’s Kastmasters, and Rooster Tails. I would like to remind all of the people that use White Pines Lake to do your part in helping keep our little jewel clean as the people that take care of the lake are all volunteers.

The North Fork of the Stanislaus River has been tough due to fluctuating water levels and lack of plants. The water levels have been changing due to the release of water coming out of Spicer Reservoir and snowmelt. You can check the flows at dreamflows.com. Bait casters should try crickets and nightcrawlers. Power Bait has just released their new scents for 2010. They now have salmon egg scent and garlic in the popular colors, along with the new hatchery pellet scent. Lure casters should try Panther Martin’s, Rooster Tails, Kastmasters, Blue Fox spinners and Rapalas. Fly fishermen should try bead head nymphs, adams, female parachute adams, ants, woolly buggers, stimulators and caddis flies. There are still holdovers and beautiful Brown trout to be caught.

We Fished Fanny Shoals on Thursday with a light Charter of 3 guys, we ended up with Limits of nice quality rockfish & 6 lings to 12#'s. Saturday we went up to Bodega and made our first Gualala trip of the season, The big rockfish cooperated, but we only managed two ling cod to 10#'s, Sunday we tried for Salmon only catching one silver salmon, and one 8# Halibut for our efforts, switching over to rockfish we landed limits of mixed grade to end the day.

The big Halibut have started to show up on the outside, looking forward to getting after them.
