TROUT
Our Facebook fans have had a lot of positive things to say about our fishing this last week. You can check out our Facebook page for specifics. We also had someone from Central Valley Anglers who wished to remain anonymous state that the fishing has definitely picked up in the last week and he managed to catch a total of 8 fish with the largest weighing about 7 lbs! Another angler out of South shore reported to have limited out trolling the main lake on both Sat & Sun. Art Bickham of Ione caught a 7.56lbs trout using powerbait while fishing near the causeway.

ATTENTION ALL BOATERS
Due to the growing presence of the invasive Zebra and Quagga mussel in California, we will be conducting mandatory boater interviews and vessel inspections prior to entry. At this time, East Bay Municipal Utility District has taken several steps to manage this issue at Lake Camanche, Lake Pardee, and San Pablo Reservoir:
1. Vessels from Southern California and outside of California will not be allowed on Lake Camanche, Lake Pardee, or San Pablo Reservoir.
2. All vessels from approved counties will be inspected prior to launch. These inspections should take no more than five minutes per vessel.
In order to pass the inspection, we require that your vessel's water reservoirs (live wells and bilges) be totally dry and that the boat hull be clean. We do not anticipate these procedures to take more than five minutes per vessel, but we do strongly encourage you to arrive early to make sure you get on the water as soon as possible.
