Lake Berryessa Fishing Report
Finally! Lake Berryessa is starting to produce strong catches. We are getting reports of Kings, Trout, and Bass being caught. Kokanee fishing is still a bit slow, but you can do well-hooking trout using Kokanee gear. Troll your kokanee setups surface down to 65/70 feet and use spoons for Kings.
Crappie Bite is also opening up. Stop by to grab your crappie jigs and medium minnows. Fish in the shallows and around the structure.
We have a wide variety of Kokanee gear including rods, reels, flashers, hoochies, etc.
Napa River Fishing Report
The water is warming up and clearing out. The striper bite is on. Use rattle traps to troll the sleuths or cut bait/live bait to fish from the bank. There are huge schools of striper in the Bay and some may be making their way to the river. If this happens, the weekend striper fishing on Napa River will be on fire. Let us know how you do.
Meanwhile, we'll have the bait you need to try your luck this weekend.
