Big Rock Resort 760)648-7717. Laurie and Mike there showed me the most impressive Cutthroat of the season I’ve seen. A 4lb-10oz beauty caught by Nona from Atascadero trolling a nightcrawler(probably threaded) with a watermelon mini-dodger down near the beach drop off. That’s fishing creatively. The Cutthroat fishing has been steadily improving with more and larger Cutts each year as the population grows.

June Lake Marina (760)648-7726. Abby says catching has slowed somewhat since the weekend but should pick up again as Summer approaches. They are set to bring in some 1 to 2 lb Oregon Rainbows before 4th of July which will be released through their pens. The marina offers a nice gear rental package when renting a boat that includes all the bait and tackle needed to get going.
