I just fished Baum Lake in Shasta county for the last three days. Tons of fish and crystal clear water. Even with all the rain. Had a lot of fun fishing in the snow.
"Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn." - Anon.
I used to fish Manzanita a lot. Its pretty much snowed in right now so I fish Baum Lake. My house is about one mile from the lake so its easy for me. Zonker, I have a bunch of mouse patterns but I haven't used them yet for the big browns. I will this spring and summer for sure.
I left up there last sunday and It was snowing pretty hard but at the 3200 ft level it doesn't stick for very long. You get a few inches on the ground but by the afternoon it was all gone. At the higher elevations starting around 5000 feet there was tons of snow. Several feet thick.
