Lake Manzanita is located inside Lassen Volcanic National Park in the Cascade Range mountains of northeast California. The scenery surrounding Manzanita is stunning which makes fishing for its large population of rainbow and brown trout a magnificent experience.

We will be camping in A - Loop at Lake Manzanita from Thursday July 18 to Sunday July 21. The campground is a short drive or walk to the lake and an even shorter walk to the general store and hot showers.

Shore fishing at Lake Manzanita is limited and the lake is best fished from a float tube, pontoon boat, canoe, or kayak. No motors of any kind are allowed on the lake and the park rangers insist each person on the water wear a PFD - a Personal Flotation Device.

Wade Goertz and Dave Pellone are the fishmasters this year, contact Wade for more information. Cost is $70 per person.

Deadline for sign-ups is July 1 - space is limited.

Flycasters will once again be heading over the Sierra Nevada to a little lake called Pyramid. A stark, beautiful and mystifying high desert lake just north of Reno. Pyramid Lake offers spectacular scenery, huge Lahontan Cutthroat Trout, in an area rich in Indian history on the Piute reservation.

The PYRAMID LAKE FISHOUT is scheduled for APRIL 18, 19, & 20TH, RETURNING HOME ON SUNDAY APRIL 21ST. This has been one of our most popular fishouts for both the opportunity to catch a lot of large Laotian trout and also have a great time socializing with other members. We currently have 20 people signed up with room for a lot more BUT, in order to participate you MUST SIGNUP BY FEBRUARY 28TH or I will have to release the rest of our reservations to another club. Payment of $155 is also due by the March meeting or you will lose your spot in the fishout. It you are a new member this is a great fishout to get started with.

If you want to go with us to Pyramid, phone me at 408-738-1759 or email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it by February 28th. At this time I'll be forced to release the reservations to another club. They will certainly be overjoyed because the week of April 18-21, 2013 has been a prime time to fish Pyramid for many years.

Potluck dinner on Thursday night. Friday and Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner and provided. Sunday Breakfast is also provided. The lodge / trailers are heated and linens are provided so all you have to do is show up and be ready to have a great time. Carpools will be worked out after February 28th.

I have put a fishout template on the web so for more info on equipment go to file sharing and 2013 fishouts. We are a fishing club so come on out and join us at Pyramid.

Eagle Canyon Lake Fishout

Eagle Canyon Lake Fishout

8 Flycasters spent two days fishing Eagle Canyon Lakes outside of Red Bluff. These are private pay lakes and are stocked with big Lassen trout (8 – 20 lbs). We drove up Wednesday Feb. 8^th, stayed at the Best Western and fished the 9^th and 10^th. Weather was great and almost everyone caught multiple fish. I think Jim Cramer was the hot rod with 11 fish landed, the largest about 15 pounds. There did not appear to be any specific lure that worked. We caught fish on wooly buggers, Pheasant Tails, articulated flies, Prince Nymphs, Copper Johns, etc…. The lakes are easy to fish from shore or by wading. Everyone had a good time both fishing and socializing plus we had a couple of great dinners. Here’s a couple of photos …

And don't bother to bring a net as they have BIG nets there. Plus, I don't think anyone in the club has one big enough.
