Look for caddis and stoneflies soon. Davis Lake is thawed out, but very cold and fishing poor. Tube, pram, or boat is needed. Fish a midge pupa, small mayfly nymph, or small beadhead under an indicator or on a stillwater sinking line. Fishing a type III sinking line with a wooly bugger is also productive.
River is high and off color, but fish are rising in the afternoon.
Small numbers of skwala stoneflies, gray drakes, march browns, and caddis are active. Fishing should be decent and improve quickly as the water clears. American River is producing a few striped bass 4-6 lbs. Best fishing is early morning and evening. Fish are being caught in the lower river near Watt Ave and Gristmill.
