Open 7 days. Comments Lake Almanor Normal seasonal level, clear, mid 40s F. Fishing is fair to good. Best fishing is from late morning on. Fishing a type III or IV full sinking line with a slow retrieve is catching rainbows in the deeper water. Best fishing is in the coves at the south end of the lake near the dam.
Fishing is poor to fair.
Best fishing is first light to early morning and mid-afternoon to dark. Indicator nymphing with an egg pattern and a small mayfly or caddis pupa dropper is catching the most fish. Traditional steelhead methods are also picking up an occasional fish. More rain should improve the fishing. Access at Goethe Park, Arden Pond, Gristmill, Harrington, Watt Ave, or Paradise Beach.
